Because the dots take up less room. It may look otherwise, but it's true.
Yahoo is NOT deliberatly doing it incorrectly. It's just part of the program.
Go to any other wesite, and it'll do the same!

For the same reason we PARK our cars in DRIVEways. There are just things in life that don't make sense.
