Why does spaces in names = a lack of education? Perhaps the clearest way
to label a file includes a space?

IMO there's nothing intrinsically wrong with any character in a file
name, as long as it makes sense with regards to your naming conventions.
The only difficulty it causes is if your tools can't handle that
character very well. These days, *even* on UNIX, most tools should
handle spaces in filenames just fine.
