wait you forgot the semi-colon... ah, that's right, he said grammar mistakes were not counted...

Perfectly valid to omit the last semi-colon when closing a PHP block.

<?PHP echo 'So does the new code count all quoted code as well? :)';?> <?PHP echo 'If so... Then we are going to have a ton of code to start with!';?>
