Ok, ok, just too used to doing it, won't do it again, etc, etc. If it bothers you that much....... well the boats already sailed after my ill-advised "Places that sound like food" thread that I won't be posting again after...... now.

No, I like it, seriously!

haha I just had a little dig at lol p xx for doing this! I avoid it because if you aren't a programmer even these very basic lines of sed (I was writing some the other day with directory paths, so it was all like s/\/test\/app/\/\/test\/app1/g and the like, looking absurd) are not necessarily comprehensible.

Yeah, I think that is slightly more intuitive (c is better than s, no trailing /g), but since I'm kind of used to both I'm not much of a judge. I don't really care, and I think people generally understand.
