I'm picturing some developer with a line like:

print "Approved for $5000...For $user only...";

sending out a test message sees that it reads:

Approved for ...For fred only...

And saying to himself "Doh!  $5000 is a bad variable -- I should use '' there!"

-->

print 'Approved for $5000...For $user only...';

Then failing to retest.
