How can I make a LaTex macro which replaces each
- \and by the word "and"
- \or by the word "or"
so that the nouns are not in italics?

A:
\text{and} or \text{or}
If you insist on a macro, just use the normal LaTeX \newcommand.

Thank you! Do you know how I can make an alias of \and so that it applies to \text{and}?

It seems that I can make an alias by \newcommand.

You need to load the amsmath package (or amstext, at a minimum) for this to work.

No you don't. \text is plain LaTeX.

The advantage to \text is that the font size adjusts in different situations (such as subscripts/superscripts). Although that's not always important...
