Another early 90s C learner here, and I also put (and still do!) parentheses around return expressions. But I do: `return( 1 );` not `return (1);` ...because the bracket belongs to the return, not the expression. It's by analogy with 'if' and 'while', a mental "look out, here comes an expression" warming.
