When to use (and) vs (&)?
When to use (and) vs (&)?
Helloo me and my little girl were working on writing assignment and used "&" in a sentence like "I like apples & bananas." I told her "and" might be better, but I'm not totally sure about the rules. Can you clarify when "&" is okay to use?

Hello! The ampersand ("&") is a symbol used to represent the word "and," but its usage depends on the context. Here's when it's generally okay to use it:
Use "&" in informal writing, titles, or abbreviations (e.g., R&D, Salt & Pepper).
In formal writing (like essays), it's better to use "and" instead of "&."
Hope this helps!
