No, it shouldn't. The "+" is required only if you are building a string for assignment, not if you are simply printing. It's allowed to use concatenation in output, but it's definitely not required. If you think about the manual reference, any string or variable not part of an "assignment" is simply output. So - my presentation is simply the output of a series of fixed strings and variables.

Besides, Dale, if anyone had a typo, it's you! I have TWO "n"'s in my name!! \:D (and while you prolly wouldn't want me to call you "Dal", "Ale" might be interesting for a bit.. ;\) )

PS - I'm not sensitive about the spelling, but enjoy every opportunity to tease!
