You've just taken the important information (y), and hidden it behind 10 times as much UNIMPORTANT information. You're forcing them to read 11 characters, 10 of which are just tagging, and made it much easier for them to miss that the "y" here should have been an "x", because the word is 90% correct anyway... -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.
