Quirky &&& wonderful--how will you celebrate?

Asked by Jeruba (56061points) September 7th, 2018

September 8th is National Ampersand Day! What fine &&& fun observance will you observe?

I think I will notice things that come in pairs &&& give them special attention as 1 & 1.

I will also go back & admire everything on this page. Et cetera.*

I shall recite the alphabet and type hiya & higher.

Later, the little ones will be in my thrall as I recount the story of the the first “and per se and”.

There shall be no mention of thorn, wynn, yogh, ash, eth, that , ethel, ond or eng.

If you so desire feel free to post images of those “things that come in pairs”, twitch you refer.
