The list came from an online site, Herodios.com, and was based largely on research done in the early days of e-mail by linguist Karen Steffen Chung of National Taiwan University. Her lengthy collection of @-words, as well as some additions from Post foreign correspondents, shows that while many countries have simply adopted the word "at," or call the symbol something like "circle A" or "curled A," more imaginative descriptions still hold sway in many places. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/30/AR2005093002082.html " target="blank">www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/30/AR2005093002082.html </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
