I did indeed mess with that line, I had replaced STORE_OWNER with my name (before I had studied)
I would have to re-enter all my log-in info to get the orig error message but here's the debug log:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/artbylow/public_html/shopping/includes/languages/english/theme1/create_account.php on line 42

Thanks for the response.
