title: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token instanceof (with Chrome Javascript console)
body: <p>I am surprised that the following code when input into the Chrome js console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{} instanceof Object
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>results in this error message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token instanceof</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Can anyone please tell me why that is and how to fix it?</p>
