what does &: mean? I see it in personal ads but have no clue?

Answer 1

It is the "and" symbol and it is located on the number 7 on your keyboard, just shift and press 7 and there you are.

An ampersand (&, &, &, &), also commonly called an and sign, is a logogram representing the conjunction "and". The symbol is a ligature of the letters in et, which is Latin for "and". Its origin is apparent in the second example in the image to the right; the first example, now more common, is a later development.

The ampersand often appeared as a letter at the end of the Latin alphabet, as for example in Byrhtferð's list of letters from 1011.[1] It is thought that teaching & as the last letter of the alphabet (... X Y Z and &), a common practice through the 19th century, led to its name, a corruption of the phrase "and per se and", meaning "and [the symbol which] by itself [is] and". The Scots and Scottish English name for & is epershand, derived from "et per se and" with the same meaning.
