Good stuff. Anyone know what’s up with “#”?

It was “number symbol” or “pound symbol” and lately, “hashtag.”

The ampersand is simply a ligature of the letters E and T

'Ampersand come home'.

I had to look it up. This is an ampersand “&”.

Roman scribes would write in cursive so as to increase the speed of their transcription

Someone should tell the Romans that cursive is, like a dead language. Many cannot read it.
