Indeed.
Personally, I am too used to x() syntax so I frown when I see x () (but I separate 
keywords like if/for -- in C or Java) but I wouldn't have the idea to call that "wrong"!
At least as long as the lexer is pleased...

I noticed that Roberto and Luiz declare functions with the space before the opening 
parenthesis, but call them without.

As said, as long as you are consistent... Because if you write either way, it makes harder 
to find a call (or definition) with a simple editor.
