@DlyanLukes They are fine. If you want to be more formal, there is または, もしくは, あるいは as istrasci suggests. But I feel the latter two are only used for exclusive disjunctions.

Braces with slash mean alternatives. For example, A{B/C}D means ABD and ACD are possible. This is a commonly accepted notation. | |
