JS: OR operation with more than two operands?

This question is Javascript-based but applies to logical operation in general

take the code example

if (baseText[i] == "."){
    /*splice array*/;}  

if (baseText[i] == "!"){
    /*splice array*/}   

if (baseText[i] == "?"){
    /*splice array*/}

outputs what I want, but the following 

  if (baseText[i] == "." || "!" || "?"){
           /*splice array*/}

should do the same, but doesn't. Forgive me, but my understanding of OR operation is that as long as one of the statements is true, the entire boolean value is True no matter how many operands I use. Am I getting it wrong in theory, or wrong in practice?

If it means anything I'm also iterating this "array.length" times
