There's nothing really brain damaged about your convention, but it is non-parsimonious. That's a big word for anything not on the straight line between two points. Non-parsimonious things tend to jump out and bother experienced programmers. When you're looking at any code and trying to understand it, you're constantly asking 'What does this do, and why does it do it?'.

The truth is that if you stare at anything long enough it will start to look familiar, and that's good. It helps us code. But since your the only one doing it, it's not going to help anyone else. And since it's non-parsimonious it's actually going to bother us.
