Note
A past form built the regular way, with the t doubled before -ed, on a verb made from the @ sign. To at someone is to reply to them by writing @name, and by extension to talk to them face-to-face. The verb is rare, informal and new, so its past suits chat and casual writing rather than formal prose. In print it can make readers stumble, because at is otherwise a preposition (at home, at school).
