Re: REF: What is this symbol called @?

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

I am the person who posted this question on Friday. Thanks to the many
people who responded.
Most people told me what it meant -- I knew that already -- not what it is
called.  Apparently, there was a discussion of this last year; I checked
the archives and followed it; the only responses were "the 'at' sign, and
'a snail'.  Some people confused @ with & (the ampersand).
        Someone suggested asking an old typewriter teacher or a typewriter
company. I might try the printing companies that are located near my school
-- maybe an oldtimer there will have the answer.  Typographically speaking,
I can't imagine it doesn't have a name!

Thanks again to all who answered.
