If someone were to ask to you recite all 27 letters of the alphabet, what would the last letter be? It’s trivia day today. And, yes there was a time when there were 27 letters in the English alphabet. The letter is still in use today, but it is no longer considered a letter.
Up until about 200 years ago, children recited the alphabet with an extra line “and, per se, and.” But, the letter because to be considered an abbreviation or punctuation.
Ampersand - &.
Aren’t you glad you now know that?
