I've noticed that at least one announcer - Francesca Alderisi, of "Sportello Italia" - uses the term chiocciola for the @ sign in the e-mail address. It is the word for "snail" or "spiral." I like it!

Languages are wonderful. The way people around the world express themselves has such incredible variety. I've been spending some time watching RAI International in preparation for an upcoming trip to Italy in June, and am really enjoying the Italian language programming. I don't understand very much of it, but I'm getting better at it.
