interesting that due to the translation of the bible they use a lot of Christians don't know their God has a name. in fairness though maybe this is a good thing, since you aren't meant to say the tetragrammaton. i guess Jehovah's Witnesses differ on this tho

I still find it sort of strange that Jewish people do this in English, since 'God' is a de facto way to NOT use the Tetragrammaton. wonder if this is anything to do with not being able to Genizah the entire internet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genizah ) help

what, you mean the G-d thing? my strong point is Torah not Talmud but my impression is that it's the standard-policy fence-around-a-fence thing in play, where since so many English speakers are using "God" as if it were a name, we're also gonna mince that *just in case*

being used as a name made it a name to a sufficient extent that the mitzvah could be considered to apply just a tiny bit
