Yeah but do you know where "ampersand" comes from? "&" used to be the last letter of the alphabet, so you'd recite "X, Y, Z, & and, per se, and," meaning "& by itself = and."

Had to verify this because this sounds a little made up. I’m learning all sorts of stuff today.

This is fascinating! I don’t know what “et” means though!

Latin for “and.”

These are the secret things you learn in Typography class. See also Interrobang and Octothorpe.

I had a really strict typography professor yet never learned about the &, but a whole lot about the ß. I’m super glad this thread exists, so many new things to learn!
