Automatic Awesompersands

Patrick Haney kicks it up a notch, automating awesompersands using jQuery. A few other worthy points are brought up as well: unbolding to get the proper italic version, and Jeremy Keith’s clever suggestion that an ampersand is in fact an abbreviation (of the Latin et), therefore we could use <abbr> instead of <span>. Jeffrey Veen later added (at the An Event Apart San Francisco speakers dinner) that the lang="la" attribute should be added. I feel a SimpleQuiz resurrection coming on!
