Usage notes The ampersand is often used if the words to the left and right together form one inseparable unit, for example en plug & play. Occurrences of & in proper names are considered part of the name itself, and are almost always reproduced even in contexts where ampersands are not normally used. In formal use, not all ands are replaceable with an ampersand. For example and linking two main clauses or appearing before the last item of a list are not written as &.
