I think thats one of the few things we all did when we started, along
with improperly initializing variables.

we've all done these, i'm sure:

-- wrong:
integer myint = 5

-- right:
integer myint  myint = 5


-- wrong:
integer myint
    myint += 5  --wrong

-- right:
integer myint
    myint = 0
    myint += 5
