The Ampersand » argument http://ampersand.gosedesign.net The Ampersand — a scribal abbreviation for “and,” derived from the Latin word “et.” Tue, 04 Oct 2011 03:55:40 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Settling an argument http://ampersand.gosedesign.net/settling-an-argument/ http://ampersand.gosedesign.net/settling-an-argument/#comments Mon, 07 Dec 2009 03:32:23 +0000 admin http://ampersand.gosedesign.net/?p=772 So I know I am just now getting around to answer this email from May, but I think it is important to let people know where I stand.

Okay,

We are having a debate at work (public library) between two forms of ampersand. See the photos. I prefer the classic ampersand. My co-worker uses the other form frequently. We wasted 30 minutes on this and found your blog link on Wikipedia and thought we’d have you judge for us.

Sincerely,
Susan & Meg :)

Option A
Option “A”

Option B /><br /> Option

I think option “A” is appropriate in this instance, because it fits with the typography of the sign. In most other cases, I prefer “B.”
