       Who doesn't know the word ampersand ...
           who now days doesn't know the at-sign ...
              and the tilde is one of the marks, in the Romance languages,
placed over some of their letters to distinguish meanings ...

Many people do not know the name "ampersand".  No-one knows what "@" is
called.  Some people think "~" is a tilde.  (Hint: it's a swung dash.)
