Mark, although I can appreciate your feelings about this, there are legitimate reasons one might not want to use spaces in object names: 1) It is more efficient as it takes less characters to type 2) You can quickly select the name of the object by double-clicking it 3) You can more easily distinguish object names from text strings when glancing through your code 4) Most other languages don't let you do this, so If you use multiple languages it would be better to have a consistent style across languages.
