yet more microsoft stupidity..

using "+" as the string concat operator (rather than the SQL-92 standard "||" ), as well as it already being the numerical addition operator, AND having the numerical addition operator be higher in precedence, thus forcing you to have to do number-to-string conversions explicitly.

what a damned waste of time...
