Just a curiosity.... I use it too ’cos it’s very popular here on TDR but why are we using the ’at’ symbol (@) when referring to a person?
We don’t say ’at John’, we say ’to John’ in English...
2-John would be more correct...

It does not have to be 100% correct, as long as anybody knows what it means.

Yes I got it now! It was just a silly question caused from a chocolate overdose probably.
