I can almost honestly say that I've never written this symbol in my life. Maybe a few times, but if I did, it probably looked like absolute chicken shit.
I know I've typed it plenty of times, but written on paper? Nope, I just stick to + in writing if I want the shorthand of 'and'.
I guess you didn’t like m&ms as a child
I have no problem with the & character, I just can't write it on paper worth a shit to save my life.
The Spanish word 'y' is my fav abbrv
"o" is commonly used in Swedish, short for "och" which means "and").
Hehe, I had to write it in my University a lot because it is used on Soviet symbol for AND gate in electronics. It still looked like chicken shit, even after all that practice.
