  No, more space between Pig & And + And & Whistle.

  They refer to the same and twice.

    then it should be separated by comma after the first and and

      I don’t believe that’s accurate.

      There are only two things in the list, pig & whistle.

      They want more space between pig and &.

      They also want more space between & and whistle.

      If we were listing three areas where they want additional space we would need at least one comma, and I would argue for the Oxford comma as well, however we are only listing two areas where we want more space and so no comma is needed.

      Sure it’s nearly unreadable, but I think it’s grammatically correct.

        If the same and is referred to twice then it should be a separate sentence clause requiring use of a comma. Since there is no comma there is no indication the and is the same both times.

  (Pig and And) and (And and Whistle)

    Ah see this one makes more sense but since it is a single sentence two of them are still redundant.

  It is indeed a very convoluted way of making the requests. I would say more space between each word.
