Well, that one you can blame on the "Teach yourself C in x easy lessons" and
similar books. I have seen 3 or 4 different books of that type on C and C+,
and the first code that they all showed as an example was that all C programs
begin with {void main}. One of them even showed "Hello World" with void main.
I suppose that is one of the reasons that the author was writing books
instead of code for a living. ;)
