Well, for one it's speed, for other it's a matter of personal preference. If I wanted google for "ebay motors", I'd probably type "go ebay motors" - but that's just me. :) Anyway, I have my own solution for prefixes (as you know), so I'm not that bothered about that, really. It just seemed a bit odd to me, as I'd rather like to have freedom in the actual length of the prefix.
