And

[capt_weasle]

I find myself switching between options 2 and 3 for informal writing, though recently I've been sticking to the former. I never use the last version (in fact I had to look at my keyboard to remember how it looked), and I would hope no one uses "+" at all. You can vote twice, mostly because I'm inconsistent and never use just one.

[scythe]

I do a reverse version of #2.
Sort of a lowercase epsilon with a line through it.

[yahoozy]

I use three when I don't spell it out.

[Zephyr]

I use 4 in rare cases, usually when I'm in a great hurry.
Most of the time I just write it as it is.

I either spell it out or do something similar to the following:

Code: Select all

         
          8    8                     
           8  8                      
            88                       
            88                        
           8  8                      
          8    8                      
         8      8                    
          8    8                      
           8888                      
                                    

[squibbles]

I use #1 about 80% of the time, ampersand the rest.

[Geti]

I do the same as scythe, or spell it.

[xdude_]

Number 2 or spell it out.

[乳头的早餐谷物]

Formally, spell it out unless it needs an ampersand in which case I do the ampersand. Informally, often spell it, but otherwise I do a little ribbon:

[t̷s͢uk̕a͡t͜ư]

I usually just write it out. If I'm in a huge hurry, I use a '+' (as #4).
I only use an &pers& when I'm writing it as an operator, e.g. bitwise or logical AND.

When I have more time, I draw a little guy flying a kite.

I'm going to make a sig out of that.

1 and possibly 3. 1 is like 99.9 % of the time.

Actually, I've never used anything other than 1.

[Vyacheslav]

and or &

[fawk]

Normally 1, but occasionally 4.

[otters~1]

I'm pretty sure that my handwriting makes it faster to write 'and' than '+'. Anyone else?

[Kablizzy]

Who writes anymore? Typing is whurr it's at.

[Donfuy]

Other.

Cause "and" in portuguese is

[heatwave]

and, & sometimes &.

[Tanner]

Hahahahaha! Donfuy, did you take a screenshot of MS Paint? Really?

Protip: File > Save As...

But that's why we love him!

[scythe]

It's worse than that. The only way I know to save screenshots in Windows is with Paint.

[Donfuy]

First, I use localhostr uploader to take screenshots.

Now I'm gonna "explain" what happened via screenshot

[noops]

You know what I love? How Donfuy's theme is pink and adorable.

[t̷s͢uk̕a͡t͜ư]

The wacky Portuguese ampersand looks too much like the lowercase 'L' I write when I use it as a variable.
