I can't explain it, but the space between value and unit has always bugged me.

When you write "2 kg" you are writing the equivalent of two words: "two kilograms". If we leave space between the two words, why does it seem unusual to you that we leave a space between the numeral "2" and the unit symbol "kg"?
