Common practice where? I used to see that construction on
usenet, and occasionally I use it in mail, but in my experience
the whole point of typing out ^H & ^W is so that your reader
will see it and be amused by what you're writing.
(I occasionally use strikethrough when writing on weblogs, but I
don't think it looks as good as the visual attempt to frantically
backspace over some intemperate but true invective.)
And from a usability point of view, I don't think it's all that
great because you'd need to keep track of how many characters you're
backspacing over.
