How to call the sign of @ in English?
How to call the sign of @ in English?
And how to pronounce it when reading an email-adress?
(and if there is a difference between American and British versions, please point it out)

Btw both in Russian and Ukrainian it's called and read like 'sobachka' that is a puppy.Additional questions.
1) If to ask "Did you forget to put there an "at" sign?" would it be correct?
2) There are no other versions in English besides "at" to call it (even in slang), right?= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I'd like to thank you all guys for your participation in the discussion for I got to know even a bit more than I had asked. So, many thanks to you all!
I'll stay relying on your support in my further studying.

It's called the "at sign". For emails read it as "at".

It is also called 'at' in British English. @ is bascially slang, anyway. It is often used in text messages or on the internet instead of 'at', e.g.: 'I am @ my house'.
