### Internet, the web and email

**Internet** is used without an article: *en internet*, *tengo internet*. A website is **la web**, and an email is **un correo electrónico** — **el correo** alone is the post.

{{item:1149206}}

{{item:1149208}}

The symbol **@** has its own name, **la arroba**:

{{item:1149212}}

### Numbers and zero

**El número** is any number — of a house, of a phone. The digit 0 is **cero**, and it takes **-s** in the plural: *tres ceros*.

### Closing a message, holding the line

Spaniards end a friendly email or postcard with **un beso** (literally *a kiss*; *love*). On the phone, **un momento** asks someone to wait.
