Comment (by afercia):

 Not sure using `@` adds any value. Instead, I doubt it's announced
 correctly from assistive technologies in other languages. In Italian, for
 example, the `@` symbol is called `chiocciola` and its main meaning is
 "snail" :) Or it's a particular type of stairs.

 Firefox and NVDA do read out `@` as "chiocciola". This makes sense only in
 the context of email addresses, where we usually say "xyx chiocciola
 xyz.com". However, "chiocciola" doesn't make any sense in the context of a
 date format. I guess this happens also in many other languages.

 I guess only in English there's an association between the `@` symbol and
 the word `at`. I'd tend to think `@` doesn't have an universal meaning in
 the context of dates and it shouldn't be used this way. I'd rather just
 use the word `at` like, for example, in the Comments screen.

 We should also try to remove `@` in all the places in WordPress where it's
 used for dates, but I guess it should be addressed in a separate ticket.
