Anyone who believes this is an ampersand logo has issues...



Anybody who thinks it is an inverted caret has even worse issues.

At least I'm looking at the correct image.

Very weak reply, Bill. Why do you think Hosty would be using an inverted caret?

Well seriously Ray, you chime in, late to the party, claiming that the symbol being discussed cannot be an inverted caret because it has a horizontal cross bar, all while not even looking at the correct image.

As for what I believe Hosty meant...

Hosty's use of the inverted caret symbol makes the note actually read:

"day before yesterday
Mr Truly 2 others had
rifle
1st floor outside
office"

Sorry, Bill, I didn't know you had to be in from the start of a topic, to pass an opinion. (I'll remember your  rule next time you chime in with your late comments).
I've been looking at the image as in my post at 1.30.48. It is not a "caret"- it is shorthand for "and". For some unknown reason you don't want it to read "and" and have dragged up a printing sign to try and show it isn't.

You missed the point entirely.  I can't believe I have to explain this.

It's not that you chimed in late.  It's that you did so while looking at the WRONG image.  You commented on Iacoletti's ampersand sign while believing you were commenting on what I believe is Hosty's inverted caret.

I don't have the same time stamps that you do.

Again, what you're looking at is Iacoletti's "shorthand for and", which is totally irrelevant.  We are discussing the "v" symbol in Hosty's notes.  Why are you having difficulty understanding this?

Wrong.

I absolutely believe that Iacoletti's post shows the logo for "and".  However, Iacoletti's post is irrelevant.  We're discussing Hosty's "v" (the inverted caret).

Bump.

I'm familiar with the use of the caret symbol as a proofreader mark for inserting text, but thank you for Bill-splaining it to me.  But as you allude, not only is the symbol going the wrong way for that usage, but it's not even located in the right place to signify the gap between "Truly" and "had".

"inverted carat".  Isn't make believe fun, Bill?

Look at note, bottom of right column:

1 <thingy> 2nd floors offices. The thingy must mean "and".

1 <thingy> 2nd floors offices. The thingy must mean "and".

Good catch...Tom....

Excellent observation, ...
