@ Why is it called a little mouse?

People in China are used to calling it Little Mouse, because the official pronunciation is too troublesome, and his present situation is very much like a mouse (with a tail). \x0d\ @ Read in English. \x0d\ rate. =@\x0d\ China people used to call it a little mouse. The symbol \x0d\ @ once had two meanings in English, namely "in" or "unit price". Its former meaning is often used as a synonym for "existence" because its pronunciation is similar to English at. For example, the English note "Wait at school tomorrow morning" became "wait you @ schoolmorning". Besides at, there are different meanings, so "@" is often used to indicate the unit price symbol of goods. \ x0d \ x0d \ Tonlinson American computer engineers established the position of @ in e-mail and gave the symbol @ a new meaning. In order to facilitate users to send and receive e-mails on the Internet, Tonlinson, who worked in BBN Computer Company, a military network developed by the US Department of Defense 197 1, was ordered to find the representation format of e-mail addresses. He chose "@", a symbol that will never appear in a person's name, to convey the information of someone in a place simply and clearly, so "@" entered the computer network. \ x0d \ x0d \ Tonlinson designed the e-mail format as "name code+computer host or company code+nature code of the organization to which the computer host belongs+two-letter international code". This is the format of e-mail address we are using now, in which the user name and computer address are separated by "@" symbol, so that e-mail can be transmitted accurately through the network. \x0d\\x0d\ Due to the increasing popularity of e-mail, the address of the symbol @ is also different due to the cultural habits of countries and nations. Germany, Holland and South Africa call it "monkey tail", Russians call it "puppy", Finns call it "Mimi", France and Italy call it "little snail" and so on. However, in many English-speaking countries, @ is directly pronounced as at. \x0d\\x0d\ In China, there are also many pronunciations of @, and there are two popular ones: one is circle A and the other is "flower A". In fact, in the representation of e-mail, @ means at, that is, "a user" is in "a server". So according to the specific meaning of @ here, we should pronounce it as "at".
