[b]Commercial At[/b] is applied when writing the email address for dividing the name of the user and the domain name. BobHunter@post.us. It was introduced by Ray Tomlinson in 1971, when he was sending the first email like that. Unicode offers one more sign related to emails. It's named accordingly [U:1F4E7 E-Mail symbol].

Fun fact: in Russia this sign @ is called "собака¨ which is literally translated as ¨a dog¨. Why so? Let's take a closer look at the main theories:
Fun facts: The symbol "@" is commonly known as the "at sign" in English. However, it is referred to by different names in various languages. Here are some examples: Spanish "arroba", Italian: "chiocciola", Swedish "snabel-a" or "at-tecken", and Russian "sobaka" which is literally translated as "a dog". Why so? Let's take a closer look at the main theories:
• It actually resembles a dog. Yeah, why not. Compare: [U:1F415]. Or in this angle: [U:1F436]. It seems to me that in this case @ can as well be compared... to a fish pie [U:1F365].

• I hear that if you pronounce "at" abruptly, it reminds of a barking sound. However, English speakers utter the word /æt/ absolutely differently, and no way it resembles dog barks.
• Once upon a time, when computer graphics didn't even exist, games used text symbols. In one of the games a dog was noted as @. Maybe the sign was already called so, that's why it was used for the puppy.

• The last version which I've just made up: the symbol derived from the CA abbreviation. One of the most widespread words starting from these letters is CAT, but cats are usually defeated by dogs, make conclusions yourself.
