&, ;, and Etc.
hello all, tonight I am going to share my thoughts on ampersands, semi-colons, and "Etc." first of course is ampersands (&) i believe that these are incredibly underused in modern writing, they are perfect symbols as a replacement for that troublesome word "and" and when they are the backwards 3 type ones they look totally badass (the other ones arnt as good and honestly who writes well enough to do all those swirls???). another aspect i enjoy is that the name is totally badass "ampersand" doesnt that sound cool? say it to urself "ampersand" its so awesum... the next is semi-colons i have mixed feelings about this symbol on one hand i like it because it (like the ampersand) looks awesome. however its not right that such an underused symbol is necesarry in proper grammar i think that one way of fixing this would be demanding that all bylines contain a semi-colon rather than a colon. and now comes "Etc." i personally only use this word on profiles when listing favourite music and such but occasianally it will come up in essays. this is a decent word i like how simple it makes things to list, and i like the sound of the full word when said "etcetera" it sounds nice however the spelling is all wonky it should be spelled more like this: qexteceterah (see its much cooler) apart from my spelling i honestly dont think this word should be able to be spelled (i mean who writes out etcetera???) well thus concludes my blog post may it bring much joy to my 3 or so readers
