    If you redefine \or, then any conditional based on \ifcase will cease to work, no matter how you do the definition. Note that \verb is illegal in a footnote, with any contents. Commented Mar 5, 2018 at 0:18

    Welcome! Can you please edit your question to provide a complete minimal example which produces the error you report, together with the complete text of the error message? Commented Mar 5, 2018 at 0:18
  • Although, as egreg says, this is essentially a doomed project. Commented Mar 5, 2018 at 0:24
  • You cn't use \verb in a footnote regardless of whether you have \or in it. \footnote{\verb|or|} fails too, albeit with a different error. The problem here is something like putting fragile code in a moving argument, although I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable to be able to explain exactly what that means :(.
