Some times I just don't get how the Editor works...

I have a perfectly workable script in scpt format... I then add something to it (it may be to add a new string, add a tell, a try or an if, or anything actually) and suddenly I can't compile anymore... It just keeps on finding issues with "" items after it (always states "Expected end of line but found identifier").... and if I replace all the " with | so that the editor kind of ignores them (and byt the way those lines did compile properly before adding a new element to the script) it goes till the end of the script and the staes that it expected to find "" but found the end of the script...
Basically, it seems to suddenly no understand quotes properly or shell commands, and it seems to happen especially when I add lines to set a new variable or a new tell section in the script.
Note: if I take those "new" aprts in a separate script window, they work flawlesly... If I remove the new parts of the script, then suddenly the script can compile again... And this happnes in quite a few scripts of mine.
Any one have any idea on this ?

When this happens to me it's always because I've not closed a quote somewhere.
