  What is wrong with spaces in URLs?

      I think somewhere along the way my brain started processing %20 as a space, because I don't even notice anymore.

        It might also be that browsers have started displaying it as a space - my Firefox does, for example (until you select it - copy-pasting it preserves the %20).
