What do signers call the symbol "@" that is used in email addresses? Are
there different names for it in ASL? What about other signed languages?

The LINGUIST list has just published a request from a linguist who keeps a
list of the names for this symbol in forty spoken languages and who is
trying to update it. I would like to be able to submit data on sign
languages as well.
