SubTitle: plus a real question
Posted by: Charlie Joseph (cjoseph@eagle1.eaglenet.com) on 9/06/1997@13:46hrs:
1. How many people and/or auto ferries connected SI to NJ and where were
they?
2. What was the name of the semi-famous soda shop known for the humorous
signs posted (for example: (mounted high) "What the h--- are you looking
up here for?" and "Drink till 12, pistol 2") and where was it?
Real Question:
What is the real name for this: @
Many people call it an 'ampersand'. It is not. This is an ampersand: &
I used to call it an 'each' sign, now with computers and E-mails, I call
it an 'at' sign. But what is it's real name? I don't know!
