Why do you always say, "G-D?"

Is it the "he who must not be named thing" or what?

Just curious, if you don't mind answering.

Deut. 12:3-4. We Jews believe that we may not cause the name of G-d to be destroyed. A Rabbi may cause the name of G-d to be destroyed during a special ceremony. Scrolling off the screen constitutes such destruction, in rabbinical eyes. I was unaware of this until I spoke to a rabbi in about 2000 or so about it.
