Shruthi had mentioned the anomaly to a film editor here, Andy Grieve. And like everybody, Andy found himself repeating Dave & Buster's into his phone, trying to find out if there was some trick that would force Apple to transmit a Dave & Buster's voice note. But unlike everybody else, Andy was successful. Late that night, Andy wrote to Shruthi that he'd made a discovery.

If you said Dave and Buster's into a voice note very slowly, like spreading out the words, Dave and Buster's, the voice note would sail through. Andy wrote, quote, I've been doing some tests over here, and my theory is that it's not Dave and Buster's, it's Dave and Buster's. I know that sounds the same to you as a listener because you're not reading my script right now.

But the first time Andy wrote Dave & Buster's, he wrote it A-N-D. The second time he wrote it with an ampersand. And he's right. The official way to spell Dave & Buster's is with an ampersand. All those years ago, when Dave and his business partner Buster had conjoined their restaurants into one concept, they'd put an ampersand in between their names.

Not knowing that this one fancy flourish, made years before the invention of the iPhone, would cause an anomaly in space and time decades later. Stunning. Andy continued, quote, I tried saying and, and, and, and ampersand, and the message didn't send. So Andy had deduced that ampersand was the likely culprit. Maybe Andy should be hosting a podcast.

Computers, particularly in the past, have had all sorts of problems with special characters like ampersands. Andy, as a film editor, knew that his film editing software, for instance, would sometimes reject a special character in the file name. If it was a problem there, maybe it was a problem here. But what didn't make sense to any of us was why.

You could easily send Dave Ampersand Busters over text. What was it about saying Dave and Busters over audio message that would cause the anomaly? It was confusing. I knew that we needed to talk to an expert. Ampersand, a fellow tech reporter, connected me to the right one.
