Pseudocode (thing)

Informal 'rules' of Pseudocode, as I have seen in practice:

• You don't need to use semicolon if you don't want to.
• Brackets and braces, however, are used more often than not.
• Vertical ellipsis usually indicates rudimentary or redundant code or unnecessary details.
• .
• .
• .
• 'Minor' details such as passing by reference and variable delimiters are often forgotten. This can be dangerous, but after all, it's just pseudocode.
