REF: What ido you call this @?

[Rena Deutsch <renadeutsch@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

A question that a teacher brought us last year to which we haven't yet
found the answer:

What is this symbol @ called? (In case your e-mail has garbled the symbol,
it's the symbol over the number 2 on the keyboard).

If you looked this up to find out, where did you find the info? We tried
symbols books, dictionaries, etc., all to no avail.

Thanks!
