But that's exactly what we need to see. Do not describe the error send
the actual message including the line that it highlights. There are often
subtle hints in those messages that help pinpoint the error, so simply
saying it was a syntax error and what was highlighted is not as useful
as sending us the actual text of the error.

In this case it wouldn't have made much difference since it was the
uppercase keywords, but in other scenarios it might make all the difference.
I can't emphasise this enough, including the complete actual error message
is one of the most useful things you can do to help us help you.
