Last night we went to see the new Indiana Jones movie. It’s a great adventures movie, shows Indy just as he used to be, and most of the time makes you think you are watching an 80’s production.
And I found this today in Matt’s blog (via the Wordpress Dashboard):
As both its function and form suggest, the ampersand is a written contraction of “et”, the Latin word for “and”. Its shape has evolved continuously since its introduction, and while some ampersands are still manifestly e-t ligatures, others merely hint at this origin, sometimes in very oblique ways.
