I assumed we weren't talking "expected semicolon" since that ones pretty explanatory and would never appear on a blank line. That said, it does provide an opportunity to talk about the worst code style I ever saw. A dude decided he wanted semicolons at the start of lines so that compiler error always mapped to the line he would have put the semicolon on
