Thanks. I was looking at these sentences, and I thought so too, and it would make more sense if I used と. Although I was testing out my new knowledge of the や function. I'm glad I nailed it enough, but I understand it would really make more sense in context.


Ahh, the internet. Where men are men, women are men, and 14 year old girls are FBI agents.
