The Tironian et is still preferred in Irish and Scottish Gaelic. Here's an example from Ireland: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pay_and_Display_sign_with_Tironian_et_for_Irish_agus.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pay_and_Display_sign... (I don't know about the other Gaelic language, Manx, but I suspect that they prefer the ampersand. Their orthography is more English-like generally.)
