After troubleshooting a MySQL issue with a colleague we began discussing a “feature” of the MySQL command line which insists that you don’t put a space in the password parameter when using the short parameter.

You can of course use the full parameter --password=password but as most people use the shorthand commands it just seems slightly unintuitive.
