Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but my aesthetic reaction is that it's
really gross.  Every time my eye trips over one of those things I feel like I
do whenever I see a sign advertising "Hundred's of Items for Sale".

Worse is that some people who start down that path may eventually see nothing
wrong with calling a variable "fyle" (because "file" is already taken).  I've
seen it, and it's not pretty.

I'm sure my aversion is not totally rational.
