They are? I do print "your username is $username\n"; all the time. I know
that doesn't mean it's right but I've never had a problem with it. If all
you're printing in print "$username"; then the quotes aren't needed but that
seems like a pretty minor thing to worry about. The semicolon isn't
required for the last command in a block either but that doesn't mean it's a
bad idea to put it in there. It's just a good thing to remember because
there are times when it looks cleaner to leave it out.
