    .@MaryNorrisTNY on the piece of punctuation that used to be in the alphabet: http://nyer.cm/4HliDcx http://snpy.tv/1StcEj7 

    The Illustrious Ampersand
    Developed from the Latin et (“and”), the ampersand, formerly the twenty-seventh letter of the alphabet, is a character with a cult following among students of typography.

        @NewYorker @MaryNorrisTNY I love this woman! I get snobbish insults when I use &, but it's so useful on Twitter's 140 character tweets.

        @NewYorker @MaryNorrisTNY W/Twitter the & has come back -- it saves 2 characters over "and" in a context where characters count.

        @NewYorker @MaryNorrisTNY I am concerned with the mistreatment of English words and letters, especially the letter "u" that lost to "oo."

        @NewYorker @MaryNorrisTNY The "&" is a thing of beauty. I cheat-write it with an 8 & then draw a diagonal line thru it. I love your videos!

        @NewYorker @MaryNorrisTNY what is the objection to using it? Is there a rule that it should only be used in certain instances?
