It would be sort of workable on my country. Where it would be something like:

> dot snabela dot at punktum at

“Snabela” (maybe its snabel-a or snabel a) means “trunk a” trunk as in an elephant’s trunk.

Punktum is just the Danish word for period.

Now I’m really regretting not getting a domain to utilise this fact, as I’ll only ever say my email out loud within my own country, and it would be hilarious to have a way that’s just as messed up as the authors. I guess it’s not too late.

that's cute! in polish we say "monkey" (malpka)

now i realized maybe other languages use other 'looks likes':

I'm tempted to get an email address of dot@dotatio.io, but I know that'd be setting $36 on fire.
Aaand it's gone. :D (Not me.)
Of course it is :(
Sounds like the pink panther theme.
