Sorry no as that would often leave out data that I consider important. I have no interest in whether or not you agree with my opinion.

[snip unnecessary quoting]

There are several reasons although your technique is far from
the worst way of doing things. And the format string here would probably
be better written as:

print("You've visited {0} & {2}.".format(island, new))
[...]

Three reasons for why it's better but it doesn't actually work as given.

Mark, please don't bottom-post. That has all the disadvantages of
top-posting, and none of the advantages. (In other words, it is *worse*
than top-posting.) Instead, you should trim your quoting and post
inline.


island = "Isle Of Wight"
new = "Isle of Wong"
print("You've visited {0} & {2}.".format(island, new))
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: tuple index out of range

I think that's an obvious typo that should be {1} instead of {2}.
