Subject:@ sign is not "ampersand" From:"Everman, Daniel" <evermad -at- TTC -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 9 May 1995 15:39:18 EST
Aarrgghh!!!
Ok, ok. Thanks to all you alert readers out there, I am now *thoroughly*
convinced that the @ sign is NOT called the ampersand, and that the ampersand
looks like '&'.
I am new to this use-group format, & this was my first experience posting an
blatant inaccuracy. Wow! What a response! I'm sure I'll be more careful in
the future. :-)
