Professor: "It's semicolon; we will hardly use it."

Fast forward two weeks and suddenly these freshmen are putting semicolons after every line of code like their grade depends on it. Nothing quite like the trauma of your first compiler error that could've been fixed with a simple ";". The irony is that after 10 years in the industry, I now use languages where semicolons are optional and I'm back to hardly using them. Full circle, baby.
