re: #55 goddamnedfrank

Off topic. Do twitter handles take the indefinite article a or an? In other words, is the @ symbol pronounced or not? Dick Costello says yes but it still feels awkward.

What say you?

Of course not, it’s a given when you’re talking about twitter. It’s like websites: when was the last time you heard someone say “www. Amazon. com”? It’s just Amazon. com in conversation now. Twitter ought to be the same.
