No, it isn't! In the language of UNIX, the leading / is always shorthand for "hard drive", and the ~ is always shorthand for "/Users/myusername"; your way is redundant...a cumbersome attempt to reinvent the language.

The paths I've previously posted mean precisely what I typed, as I just described.

Edit: Since we're talking nomenclature, the convention we use at FTM (I don't know if it's universal.) is to identify locations within an item whose path we've posted is (space)>(space), i.e. /Applications/System Preferences.app > Accounts.
