When writing the word 'and', do you usually write 'and, or use the symbol '&'?

Question

I'm just curious. I always write 'and', rather than '&'.

Wise Woman, that doesn't really answer my question as to weather you often use it. But thanks, that is quite interesting.

Okay Wize Woman, let me put it in a different way, since you don't seem to understand my question.
Do you use the ampersand at all when writing? Thats what I am asking. Not the usage of it, but weather or not you actually use it.

Oh, and yes, wize woman, I did indeed check your source. I still did not answer my question.

Okay wize woman, thank you for your answer (I received one thru' e-mail). I can see how my question can be misinterpreted.

Answer 1

I always use "and". Typing and writing. I don't really like the ampersand.

Answer 2

I always write 'and' unless I'm writing a note to someone, then I usually use +.

Answer 3

And is the only way
& is kind of a commercial way - it is a short cut

Answer 4

i write "and" why do u ask ?
