Oops is not a helpful response

I see quite a few responses that just show a line of code with an error and say Oops - like this

if (something = 1)

Oops

If that was a response to code written by a person known to be an experienced Arduino programmer it may be excusable. The experienced programmer would likely recognise the error immediately.

But it is not a helpful response to an error by a newbie who will almost certainly see it as off-putting and indicative of an attitude that has no wish to help newbies.

And, even as a response to an experienced programmer it is unhelpful for a newbie who may be following the Thread.

May I respectfully suggest that a more appropriate response is something like

if (something = 1)

Oops. That should be

if (something == 1)

You must use == when doing a comparison.
