[SOLVED] zsh start up issue

Question

When I open a new zsh session it is listing all aliases known to it.
the only change is placing my aliases in a separate file & sourcing it in my ~/.zsrch
even if I put the aliases back in the .zsrc file the same behaviour occurs.
Is this trying to tell me I have syntax issue's or too many ???
I only ask because it is just dumping them all to stdout upon startup (including ones I never knew I had!) without error & the aliases still work.
here is what it looks like:

lol yea got fed up with searching my history!
Trilby wrote: rename/move the configs, and restart zsh - is the problem gone?  If so, start adding things back little by little: add back the first half of the config, is the problem still there?  etc, etc.
yup just decided to do that & have found 2 possible issue's
1) changed all " for ' to follow the same syntax as /etc/zsh/zshrc
2) found a blank alias so removed it
all working thanks trilby for pointers/logic & wonderwoofy for pointing out the lack of info
