A:
The %20 is the URL encoding for a space. You don't have to worry about that as the web server will understand it properly. Typically spaces are encoded in a URL.

Except if you knew how Twitter worked, you'd know you're supposed to a '+' instead of a space.

You can also use the + sign instead of %20
