Send bounce messages for mistyped @-messages
Occasionally I've started a message with "@whoever", but mistyped the "whoever". Of course then "whoever" doesn't see the message in their replies.
It would be very helpful if, when a user tries to @-message someone and types a name that doesn't exist (obviously if the typo version does exist, there's no way to tell who was really being messaged), that the system could send a direct message saying "the username you just tried to message: '@whoeverr blah blah blah...' doesn't exist, please check."

I’m hopeful you'd add this

Inappropriate?Hi there. I can see why this would be a natural feature to request, but I personally would prefer leaving things the way they are, because there are times when people tweet '@location' (e.g., @main street) and it's not intended to be an @reply.
And I've seen many cases where people say '@me if you want me to follow you back' -- which is another example of this not being an @reply.
I’m hoping you don't mind me jumping in with my $0.02

Inappropriate?Hmm, good points. There could be "magic words" but... ecch. It's impossible to add new features without adding complexity!
I’m wishing I thought of that
