A lot of things in communications go by convention and the usage of the ampersand symbol is not considered appropriate in formal or official communication. It is alright to use any symbol if you are communicating with your friends, and chatting etc. But when you are writing something for formal communication, such as your resume, or an essay, poetry, or even a great speech, you just cant get the same effect in the mind of a reader by using the ampersand, what you would get by using the full word. Some sentences in writing begin with ( for effect / emphasis or power ) the word And and makes this conjunction very powerful. Consider this example : Blood, sweat, tears AND toil vs, Blood, sweat, tears & toil . or Burger and Coke or Burger & Coke I vote for And. And I think that suits me ! Side: and
