Same here. I was a big fan of the first until I started working in Delphi simultaneously. Remembering to include the ; or leave it off is my biggest mistake (I tend to start typing and get going and then forget which language I'm working in). To make it simpler reading between the two, I now stick with myvar = myvalue as much as possible to match pascal's var_name := value;

>Although I used to use the first one (STORE) for assigning many variables for years, for a long while I have switched to the latter as I find it more readable, and more importantly it makes it easier on you if you code in different languages (such as VFP, C#, VB.NET, JavaScript, etc.), keeping a closer mental model.
