How come on certain applications an ampersand shows up as &amp instead of just the &?

That's a bonus feature. It means you may have just won a fabulous trip to Des Moines. Lucky!

Ampersand is fun to say.

"&" is the HTML entity to create an ampersand, though just "&" is acceptable in most cases. Maybe someone accidentally left out the semicolon, or some application isn't handling things right.

I've been to Iowa. Can I redeem it for a cash equivalent? I could sure use $11.
