I’ve never understood that. It’s an honest question.

Pinging you just to get your reaction to the article.

Unfortunately, whatever you say is likely to be the first and only serious response on this thread. I sincerely did not foresee that it would become idiot bait.

My understanding is that the Jewish people (or some of them) consider God’s name (Hebrew consonants transliterated YHWH or JHVH, where some translations get Yahweh or Jehovah) too holy to say ... so they don’t. I assume G-d is a continuation of this tradition intended to show respect for God.

It is a sign of respect.
