Think of it this way. If spoken languages were allowed to use spaces in
individual words, would we be able to process communications as effectively and
quickly?
Perhaps, if a space is desired in a column name in a table, an underscore would
suffice, i.e.: My_Column, instead of `My Column`. Would make the statement:
"Please insert $1MM into My_Account" more understandable and efficient to
process.
Spaces, should be avoided in `Column Names` and in File\ Names.
