You can no longer place spaces in your user name when changing it.
  Heinous! The space is probably the most important grammatical device of the English language!

  Well. Doesn't that just suck.

I hate hate HATE underscores. I don't know why, but they make me cringe. So I agree with you wanting to avoid that.

What I've done on video games that don't allow spaces is just capitalize each word so people know when one word begins and the other ends.

Well thank the gods I don't plan on changing my name. Seriously, underscore instead of spaces? Sorry. That's just not a comparison.

Indeed... or thinking that they substitute properly for them.

If I can't use a space, I at least try to capitalize the first letter of each word. Case in point, "MyOwnBestCritic." I remember trying to space it and being rejected. Thus, squished together but with caps.

I don't necessarily hate underscores, I just don't really like them. The spacebar is nice and big and down there near the thumbs, but the underscore is way up there and you have to hold "Shift." I actually have to look at the keyboard to find it. Thus, my dislike of the underscore.

Hmm, that's odd. My friend made an account the other day, and it has a space in the name

I can type quickly, so finding an underscore is not a true issue for me. Plus, I have no particular like or dislike for the underscore, or for this concept of no spaces in usernames. I suppose it is a bit odd to not allow spaces though.

Well, I think that is just an error for that day, because I could change my username to "Pretty Potatoes" and "Critical Cookies."
