Subject: = [lojban-beginners] the space between words

Some people would put a space between "le" and "nu", while others would write it as "lenu".
The cmavo list seems to be saying that "ledo ..." or = "lemi ..." etc. is respectively a distinctive vocabulary differing from = "le do ..." or "le mi ...".
The same question goes for the comparison between ".i se ri'a bo = ..." and ".iseri'abo ...", for example.
Is it just a matter of personal preference or is there some particular signification in it?
