"Coronated"? CORONATED ??? In English we say "crowned"!

"Coronate" is an apparent odd back-formation from "coronation." In view of the long existence of the verb "crown," it is entirely useless and goofy.

Yes, that is correct. I cannot believe this word was used in such a way. "Coronated" might be correctly used, perhaps, if the person saying it had just imbibed a case of Corona beer.

It could be, because it makes no sense at all.
