Usage of @
The '@' symbol is used in texting as an abbreviation for 'at'. The symbol is commonly used to indicate a location, email address or username. For instance, in an email address, @ separates the username from the domain name. Similarly, when referring to a location, @ is used to indicate where someone is currently located or where they will be. In texting, the abbreviation @ is often used to save time and space when typing out a message.
Examples of @ used in texting are:
1. Hey, meet me @ the coffee shop at 3 pm.
2. What's your email? Mine is
[email protected]
3. Do you follow me on Instagram? My username is @jennylee1
