: Some people (including many Jews) prefer to write "G-d" to avoid the potential of destroying something with God's name on it. For instance, if someone were to print this page out and then destroy it (whether deliberately to desecrate God's name or just in the course of everyday life) some people would not want the explicit word "God" to be destroyed. But that is besides the point.
