  I gather you are referring to the habit of putting multiple
expressions per line.

  What does make code *very* unreadable however is the practice of
double-spacing.  A single blank line between functional blocks doesn't
hurt (In assembler, a blank line after a "GOTO" or "BRA", except in PIC
code where GOTOs follow skips of course in which case indentation is
elegant), but gobs of whitespace ("adipose tissue"!) really make it
difficult, if only because you are less likely to fit essentially
connected sections of code on the one page/ screen.
