        Montreal. (although there's a fair share of French speaking
peeps around Ottawa too, with it being the capital and sitting
on the Quebec/Ontario border and all)

        '&' is both called esperluette and perluette. (see
http://www.granddictionnaire.com/_fs_global_01.htm for proof,
oh ye of little faith) And my preference goes to the silly
perluette rather than the long-winded and ugly esperluette. Nah. ;)

        But you're right about the arobas. :)
