    Tadeusz,

    There was a discussion about this on LinguistList ( http://www.linguistlist.org ) some time ago:

    7.256: Software for Arabic, The @ sign, Grammatical number
    ...
    7.256.2 "Karen S. Chung": @
    ...

    7.292: Minimalism, @, Complements, Glossolalia
    ...
    7.292.2 "Karen S. Chung": Second call: @
    ...
    ...

    7.968: The @ symbol
    7.968.1 "Karen S. Chung": @ summary (*very* long)

    7.1177: The @ sign: addendum
    7.1177.1 "Karen S. Chung": The @ sign: addendum

    Yours,
    Jasper
