I’d argue that “and” is the proper way to say “&” in english, even though it’s just a fancy “et”. The word ampersand is just a weird spelling of “and per se and”, that is, “and in itself”, as opposed to being part of listing things. Like: x,y,z, and &. The first and is just part of the grammar of listing things, the second is an item in that list.
Dude. I invited a coworker over for happy hour awhile back. She arrived after everyone else had left. I showed her a jar of hash i made. I didn’t know she would take a bite of it. We had a couple bottles of champagne. Shit got weird and she called her husband for a ride home about 2am.
I think it was always called a hash but we read it as pound or number…7# or #7. Like how we say ‘and’ instead of saying ampersand.
Ampersand is such a fun word

Back in my day if someone said hash you knew you were in for a good time
