Note
A spelled-out version of a verb more often written with the symbol itself: to @ someone is to aim a message at them by writing @name, as in online replies. Because at is otherwise a preposition, the doubled t and the -ing ending are what signal a verb here. It is informal and new, suited to talk about social media, though it can also mean addressing someone face-to-face.
