Yes, nutrients are added to "nutrient-laced" drinks.

the _ is an underscore.

So, [email protected] would be read as:

John underscore williams at yahoo dot com.

If you say mouse instead of at, you run the risk that the other person will not understand you. The @ sign meant at long before computers were invented, and I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it anything but at.

Do they call it mouse where you live?
