A string of "or"s like this does not alter the number of the subject nouns in the sentence in which it occurs. In this case, each subject noun is singular, so "uses," the third-person singular form of the verb, is correct.

Oops. A correction is, alas, necessary here, because of the initial noun in the string, namely, "you." This noun of course requires the second-person form of the verb. So the string of nouns is inhomogeneous, which means that no single verb form can follow the string.

And I am left wondering what the final verdict is: use or uses? cc
