Back in the halcyon days of pens and typewriters that wrote on paper (not many of us are still around that are old enough to recall that period in history), G-d (hyphenated) was used. Maimonides, in his codification of Jewish law (12th century), states that G-d's Name should not be written (in full) and subsequently destroyed. There is no reason to maintain this practice when writing in "air" as on a computer. I do it out of habit, a practice I am loathe to discontinue, as I still have pens and paper (yes, even a typewriter) left from the old days.

To those who this is all new, you ignorance is overwhelming.
