-e is common in LatAm. I've never seen the -@ used. X just pisses me off because it only "works" in English, but sounds idiotic as well.

I don't speak spanish but something about hearing people pronounce latinx as the gender neutral form of latina or latino sounds jarring. With that in mind, how would you pronounce latine? In my head I'd think latin-ay sounds right, but could also go latin-ee, but something about that also feels weird.
