Internet/web symbols

We are all very familiar with symbols that we use everyday on the internet and on our computers, but are we always sure how to say them?

“At” symbol (@)

e.g. david.jones@international-indemnity.com

You would read this as: “David dot Jones at international hyphen indemnity dot com”

jennifer_bateson@hwx.org

“Jennifer underscore Bateson at H W X dot org”

Slashes

The forward slash (sometimes just called “slash”) (/) is used in web page addresses:

Universal-Appliances.co.uk/customer_enquiries

“Universal hyphen Appliances dot co dot UK (forward) slash customer underscore enquiries”.

The back slash (or backslash) (\) is only really used for file paths on a PC (personal computer).

E.g. See if you can find the file in C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp
