It's…uhm, unusual to wrap every word in markup. It's super inefficient since all this duplicate text needs to be sent to the browser, it's hard to maintain, and it play havoc with screen readers, so it's not super efficient. And it's just ugly.

This was clearly not written by hand but by some tool.
