Risking misleading querants (what a lovely euphonic word) is a fairly major "be nice" fail. || Deletion, in lieu of initial decency, suggested. | |

Jan 8, 2020 at 15:02 | comment | added | TylerH | It depends on if you're talking about arriving at a location, or rather describing an action. If you're trying to physically attack/break down her door, then "at" would be correct (e.g. "he came at me with a knife" implies an attack), though "I came at <something/someone else>" is awkward and also risks a double entendre. Usually you use "came at" when you are not the subject. | |
