Notes to answerer

Asker: I have to give this information on a radio ad aimed at Ukrainians and Russian speakers, so will probably stick with собашка as being more widely understood. Thanks!

Asker: That should read cобачка obviously!

Asker: Sorry: cобачка of course!

Notes to answerer

Asker: As the radio ad is quite short "собачка" can be said more quickly than "коммерческое at" and - as mentioned above - is more likely to be widely understood in this context.

Asker: Sorry, I assumed you had read the comments above. I need this to give an email address in Russian on a radio advert for my company, and it is only a 30-second spot so I need to keep the time down.
