Corpora: the At sign

[M M Van Zaanen]

Hello,

I'd like to give a minor (spelling) correction.

It's actually called "apenstaart" or "apenstaartje" (with two a's, three
in total). I've also heard "strudel" (like the German cake), but this
might be some foreign influence (Israel, maybe?).


Regards,
