I know I'm not supposed to question the @, but I was just wondering how you go about pronouncing "@". Is it like the word "at", something else, or is there no written, typed, or spoken word to mean the same as the symbol for it?

It is a word which shall not be uttered.
Thus, it is a symbol and a symbol only.

I never refer to it.
So, the answer is Dallas.

Thanks, Mix. *hands Mix 100 @*

Oh yeah, when referring to a certain amount of @, do you use the @ symbol right after the number, and/or do you use a space?

How ironic for its main supporter to fall victim to its curse.

Correct: 250@
Incorrect: @250

The @ goes at the end.

I already knew it went at the end, I was wondering if you could also use a space in between the number at the @ symbol. Does it have to be right directly after the number?

Oh, it is right after the number, no space.
