or something similar to that. As for not being defined, okay, I guess there is where you have the difference. Although, %1$s can hardly be considered readable.

Still isn't very readable. But I choose speed over readability of the language strings myself ;) I don't care if I can't read them if it makes my forum twice as fast to use it another way I will.

Joshua Dickerson:
If you want speed, language constructs work better. Although, the speed difference between all of these is very little.

--- Quote ---sprintf() isn't really in the same boat as the other string replacement functions IMO. It is more of a fancy concatenation and in that boat, it isn't so fast.

It's not classified as "fancy concatenation"; it's classified as string formatting ;). Still, I agree in a sense - It is a formatting function, not a replacement function :)
And I agree with Thantos' large post above :)
