Re: [libreoffice-users] Feature Request - Categories for special characters

Yes, I can imagine that some native French speaking people don't know
the meaning of "at", spoken for them as "èt", but the sign "@" is
ar(r)obas(e) in French.
In Dutch it is called "apestaartje" (monkey tale), but "at" is more
commonly used...
