It also makes for one less thing the reader has to think about, particularly if they're new to JS (eg, "why was there a semicolon on this line, but not on that?"). Granted, it's arguably better for them to ask such questions, so they can delve deeper and understand the pros/cons of whatever style they/others use. But I don't think inconsistent examples should be the trigger for such questions. Andrew
