You can't print out the string using %s?

Not to burst your bubble, but I've just never found variable interpolation 
to be all that useful, mostly because it's not really obvious (unless you 
have some kind of fancy code highlighter) when something's being 
interpolated, and because there's already syntaxes that look fine to me. 
Some people like it though.
