What is your problem? None of those things "crashes" Emacs. The first
one has one parenthesis too much, in the second one you're trying
to apply something to 'y which is not a function (the symbol 'g).
Look, if you were a tad nicer, I'd try to help you, but the way you
are yelling around, I don't really feel like it.
Cheers
