Keith Huston's blog Shady Characters: The Secret Life of Punctuation has been interesting to follow. This week, his post is part 1 of 2 on the ampersand. In it, we get some background on Cicero, whose scribe Tiro came up with a Roman form of shorthand in which he introduced the Tironean "et", which would certainly be the standard abbreviation for and.
Or would it?
Looking forward to part 2!
