One could easily find quotations in plenty of logic and grammar texts from hundreds of years or even of millennia ago, wherever the meaning of the various words used for "or" is discussed and where the distinction between words expressing "inclusive or" and word expressing "exclusive or" is discussed.
However there is no need for quotations if you know English. English does not have distinct words for "inclusive or" and for "exclusive or", but the context usually allows to differentiate between the 2 meanings and "or" never means parity. Without enough context, "or" more frequently means "exclusive or", which is why people sometimes feel the need to say "and/or" instead of "or", to clearly signal that they mean "inclusive or".
When someone says to you: "This belongs either to Alice or to Bob or to Charlie", do you consider that this sentence would be true if you know that "This belongs to Alice and to Bob and to Charlie" is a true sentence?
That implication would be correct if English "or", when used with the meaning of "exclusive or", would mean the same as what "exclusive or" = XOR means for programmers.
Moreover, even if you accepted that implication, would you be able to claim that in this case your understanding is compatible with "or" having been used to mean "exclusive or" in that sentence? If you believed that implication to be true, what would "inclusive or" mean for you?
I am too lazy to give longer examples, but if you would not understand what "exclusive or" means in a natural language, but you would think that it means the same as in programming, then when someone would utter a compound of e.g. 6 sentences connected by "exclusive or", you would consider the compound to be true when any 3 or any 5 of the component sentences would be true, which is not the intended meaning of "exclusive or", which is that only one of the component sentences is true. Parity is neither "inclusive or" nor "exclusive or", because when "or" is taken to be "inclusive or", any even subset of component sentences may also be true, not only the odd subsets, like for parity.
Mathematics isn't English. You don't wear the ring of integers on your finger, and you can't play football on the field of real numbers.
You're the first person I ever see that pretends to be confused by what XOR means. It means what it means, what is this semantic debate going to do for you?
