Normally "at" in Norway, but old people often use "krøllalfa" (curly alpha).

Us Chinese use it randomly without really knowing what it is for.

Like, I remember, it was like "I love noodles@!

We call it "arroba" because it seems that the symbol @ is also used for a ancient weight unit of that name (just found out about that now btw). Some people also call it "em" (Portuguese for in) and the ones who love to show how knowledgeable they are just call it "at".

In French, we say "Arobase" or "A commercial" although I frequently hear people saying which is a literal translation of "at" or simply they simply use the English "at". Keep in mind that I'm a French-Canadian, not a French, so I don't know if people from France say something else.

In Germany we usually say "at". My teacher in elementary school used to say "Klammeraffe" (spider monkey), but I don't know if that is a common expression here, as he was the only one to say that as far as I can remember.

They do that. My parents do it, and some of my teachers did it.

In Romanian, we call it 'arond'. Which kind of resembles the French 'a rond' - a round A. You figure out why.
Or 'coada de maimuta' (monkey tail).

I should assume we just translated it from Russian.

1st it's write* not writ. Writ - A written order issued by a court.

2nd I also think it's easy to write

I'm a perfectionist so it bothers me that when I write it, it doesn't look much like the when I see on my keyboard.
