I have seen this sentence and I have no problem understanding it but I think that 'and' in the sentence is not necessary or is there a reason there is 'and' in the sentence? Does it make meaning difference?
What do you native English speakers think? Could you share your opinions with me?
Thank you so much as usual in advance.
