Italian word for the "at" symbol: chiocciola. Bonus meaning: snail. It really does look like a snail...
I learned this word by watching many hours of an Italian children's show called "L'albero Azzurro" where a talking Dodo implores me to write him a letter. 'Tis strange the ways we absorb language.
There are only two possible messages. The first is an automatic response to the second and the second is an automatic response to the first. The first is, "Here I am, here I am, here I am." The second is, "So glad you are, so glad you are, so glad you are." (Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan)
