+### Word splitting and quoting issue with dash, maybe others
+
+A serious quoting problem with dash is another reason to declare and assign separately. Dash is the [default, `/bin/sh` shell on Ubuntu](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh). More specifically, dash version 0.5.8-2.10 and others cannot run this code:
+```sh
+VAR1='white spa/ce'
+local var2=$(printf '%s' "${VAR1}")
+``` 
+While this runs fine in other shells, [dash doesn't treat this as an assignment](http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#local_var.3D.24.28cmd.29) and fails like this:
+```
+local: spa/ce: bad variable name
+```
+After separating this runs fine in any shell.
