are we allowed to use "&"? (1 Viewer)

or is that not liked by the markers either?

I guess you could use it in titles of texts like "Pride & Prejudice", as sometimes they are distributed to the public named as such. Just don't use the symbol to replace the word "and" in the middle of your sentence eg. the word both reinforces the previous idea and suggests...

PS. But it doesn't take *that* longer to write "and" than "&", does it?

I saw a past 2004 "high-sample" essay, that didn't answer the question properly, used "&", and spelt the author's name wrong all the time.

Now that's certainly something to go by... Standards package responses never seemed to represent answers that were actually good so that people like you don't just copy their style straight up.

Don't use & in essays, but they're not going to mark you down for it relax -_-.
