The notation in the column "Description" is not the syntax of the path 
but the mathematical notation of the coordinate-pair of a point. It does 
not matter whether it is (x,y) or (x, y). In theory you could even write 
(x;y) or (x|y) for a point, you need only be consistent. So both (x,y) 
and (x, y) are correct.

You can always use (x,y) instead of (x, y).

Kind regards
