27th letter of English alphabet

We know English alphabet has 26 letters. 


From A to Z.. 



Until 1835, the English alphabet was having the letter ampersand ( &) right after letter Z.


Why was the 27th letter removed  ???


The   &  sign which was referred as "and",  made reciting the alphabets awkward.


It was odd to say  x, y. Z...... and. 


That's why they removed it.
