Here's what I do with emails posted on boards... instead of '@' use *at* So, my email posted on the Internet is info*at*vivabaja.com Does that work
for everybody? Anybody not know that *at* is the same as @ ?? I didn't invent that, I just saw others do that...

I have no desire to e-mail Jr. To me, e-mails are more personal, and I really don't have a desire to become personal with Jr, at least, not at this
time. I do miss him however. Jr had thin skin. Not a good thing if your going to give it out, so to speak. That was his acilies heal. However, he did
make good points at times. You had to weed through the external debris, and if you could do that without having you button pushed, there was substance
Hey Jr. If you want to e-mail me, well, lets talk. But lets talk without the BS.
Den...............

Ampersand is "&"
"@" is the commercial symbol for "at"

Ouch ! Piling On !
But that's OK. I am human and therefore fallible. I'm somewhat reassured that others have made the same mistake often enough that it's mentioned in
Wikipedia and other sights. I was curious to know what the "standard" technical name for that pesky symbol was. There is NONE. There are, however,
a whole lot of different accepted (somewhere) words to describe it. From Wikipedia:
A commercial at, @, also called an at symbol, an at sign, or just at, and sometimes mistakenly called an ampersand, is a symbolic abbreviation for the
word at. It is assigned to Unicode code point U+0040 (ASCII character 64). Its formal name comes from its commercial use in invoices, as in, "7
widgets @ ?2 ea. = ?14". It is also known as: about; ampersat or asperand (compare ampersand); amphora; ape; arobase; atgry; cabbage; cat; cinnabun or
cinnamon bun; commercial symbol; cyclone; each; mercantile symbol; rose; schnable; scroll or scroll-a; snail; strudel; these; vortex; whirlpool; or
whorl. Some of these are based on specialized usage, others are visual descriptions, and atgry (plural atgrynge) is a recurring joke proposed on
Usenet as the answer to a longstanding linguistic riddle [1].
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How about starting a poll to agree on a universal Baja Nomad standard word for that ubiquitous symbol ? Or just forget it and go back to calling it
the "at" symbol.
Personally, I kind of like "schnable". What do you think ?
