For the Punctuated! prompt... does '&' count as a punctuation mark? From what I can work out, perhaps not?

Sorry for the delay in responding, I’ve had a busy time with work recently.

  1. there are no bingo police, if you think you can make a well reasoned argument why an interpretation is correct, go for it.

  2. I would say the ampersand is a ligature not punctuation, but see 1.

Thanks! Yeah I reckon you're right - and I wouldn't mind the challenge of finding something that fits :)
