title: Aligning on a Word
body: <pre><code>.data
  myBytes BYTE 10h,20h,30h,40h
  myWords WORD 3 DUP(?),2000h
  myString BYTE "ABCDE"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If we were to declare our variables as such, would myBytes, the very first declaration, be aligned at an offset that is optimal for the CPU (which is on a word)?</p>
