A post on social media is teaching people surprising things about the & symbol and it seems there’s rather a lot to learn.
If someone said the word ampersand to you, would you know what they were talking about?
Ampersand is the name of the & symbol that we all use when texting, tweeting or emailing people and it turns out there’s a lot more to know about it than just that.
People on social media are losing their minds learning all about the symbol, which is actually a ligature for the word ‘et’.
This fact was shared by author Sarah Pappalardo in a tweet on January 31 which has since gone viral, amassing over 142,000 likes, over 30,900 retweets and thousands of comments.
