Dear Princess Celestia: Letter One

Today I learned how to sing Applejack's Drinking Song.

I learned Applejack's Drinking Song with Applejack.

Did you know that Applejack likes the number 99?

I did this while Applejack had more than 1.
I sang " 'Applejack' jugs of cider on the wall, 'Applejack' jugs of cider,"
Applejack got one less.

When Applejack had more than 1,
I sang "Take one down and pass it around, 'Applejack' jugs of cider on the wall."
In the end, I did this instead.
I sang "Take one down and pass it around, 1 jug of cider on the wall.
1 jug of cider on the wall, 1 jug of cider.
Take one down and pass it around, no more jugs of cider on the wall."
That's what I did.

In the end, I did this instead.
I sang "No more jugs of cider on the wall, no more jugs of cider.
Go to the store and buy some more, 99 jugs of cider on the wall."
That's what I did.

That's about Applejack's Drinking Song with Applejack!

Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.

I know this is a joke, but well... I died a little inside while reading this.

Is there a blatant mistake I'm supposed to notice or is it simply the pain you get because you see this as code?
Forgive me, I haven't coded anything in five years, and I'm proud of that.

(Except if you count occasionally rewriting an AddOn or two to do more what I want. I seem to do this all the time.)

406051 For starters, I would not call this "code"dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Vinyl_Scratch.png

406128 Obviously, after a rewrite. I feel like the conditions aren't worded correctly, like they should always be placed in the beginning and only then "then I did." Then again, I don't know if that logic applies to all languages, and who uses Delphi anyway.

No

I use delphi.dl.dropbox.com/u/93510029/Fimfiction/spikeseemslegit.png
When on windows.
It is on par with compiling speed of native linux g++, unlike these C++ compilers for windows that take half an hour to load.
