Before email addresses became a fad ‘@’ was used to abbreviate ‘at the rate of’ especially in the business world.

For instance, “Murdock bought one million shares in the company @ $25 per stock”

Of course, since email addresses have taken over the world the same symbol is used between the user name and the domain name.

Typical email address: [email protected]

@ = address or location ~ as in:

[email protected]

The user name “whoeveryouare”

To Indicate the information after “@” is a location

The address or location “yahoo.com”

1972: The @ symbol is chosen as the locating symbol for email addresses.
