An ampersand (&), also commonly called an 'and sign' is a logogram representing the conjunction 'and.' The symbol is a ligature of the letters in et, Latin for 'and.'The word ampersand is a corruption of the phrase 'and per se and.' The ampersand symbol has been found on ancient Roman sources dating to the first century A.D.
The Ampersand is a weblog attempting to give this humble character the respect it deserves.
