Ive tried to delete the spaces in 75 and 76 to see if it made a change but it
has not made a difference to it. Here is the full code and the thing is i know
there is things wrong with it but the thing is im fixing a code for a friend to
help him getting with the coding:
def break_words(stuff)
Well 75 and 76 is a blank line of text but i will see if i can take out those
lines to see if it is the problem thanks John

Check line 76 of your code for errors.
If line 76 is incorrectly formed, Python may see line 77 as a continuation of
line 76 and throw the SyntaxError because of that.
