How do you call the @ character in your language? In Polish it's called 'małpa' (a monkey) and in Russian 'собака' (a dog). I believe that the name in your language is also funny :-)

Wow, this is very insteresting question! ^_^ In Korean it is called golbaeng-i (골뱅이; bai top shells), a dialectal form of daseulgi (다슬기), a small freshwater snail with no tentacles. [ from wikipedia ] Because, we Korean think, '@' looks like it.

Well, the official name is "Commercial at", but it's also called "at mark" or simply "at sign". I hope that helps, unfortunately we don't have any cooler names for it;)

in hebrew we call @ - strudel, you know, like the pastry ,because it resembles the wrapped up dough of the pastry... but if you want to speak proper hebrew, like a geek, without using foreign words, you'll say כרוכית , kruchit, which is the hebrew name for strudel. karuch-כרוך- means wrapped up. that's it... love those kind of questions! jonie.
