BFH> I heard one guy refer to @ sign as "in care of", that must be wrong.
LC> You're right, he's wrong. It means "at"
Also "per," as in "$2.50 @ bushel."
Also "each," as in 35 @."
Seems to me "in care of" may also be a commom use for @. Not sure,
but I think I've seen it a few times. This use is not in
Merriam Webster.
