Answer 1

"Where's the ampersand key?" - "Where's the "at" key?"

"¿Dónde está la tecla de @?" - "¿Dónde está la arroba?"

:) - Dogboy1000, Nov 11, 2015

Is not @ the at symbol and '&' the ampersand? - Pablo064, Nov 12, 2015

@ in Spanish is called "arroba". - Daniela2041, Nov 12, 2015

The @ symbol comes from the days when "each at" was used to show prices in ledgers - example 10 each at £1 - they got fed up writing "each at" and created the @. - ian-hill, Nov 12, 2015

IN DUTCH it is called apestaart , which means "monkey's tail". Because it looks like a monkey with his tail curled over him - ian-hill, Nov 12, 2015

@Pablo you are correct - I guess I misheard it somewhere. - One lives and learns. - ian-hill, Nov 12, 2015

Answer 2

Si ese periodista no vuelve pronto, tendré que escribir lo siguiente yo mismo.
