And the first answer is going to be, “why is the Name written just like that? If it were the Name, it would appear like yud-yud or something”. The second would be “aleph-lamed translates to a dozen things, including a half dozen prepositions. Did you just buy your first milon, boy?”. Another person would say, “One way to refer to G-d is to call him Almighty (and we call people that very rarely, if at all), but of course you know that”. Then it would turn into a tea and pancakes session. Half an hour later it would go back into topic, but only to discuss the count and position of every aleph-lamed relative to appearances of aleph-something-lamed. At least that’s usually how it goes.

“The Jewish authorities ought to learn Hebrew.”

Given that all of them learn hebrew since, like, five years old or something, I have doubts about that going to be a convincing argument.
