Yeah, I thought it was a nifty, more readable format, that yet preserves the break.

"This causes problems. No matter how many times I write "G-d", the spell-check on the computer has no idea what I mean. "G-d" is not in its dictionary, and it won't accept it as an addition to the dictionary. So the computer comes up with all types of suggested corrections: Go, Do, G'day. And often half the name ends up on a new line: G-
d.

I wonder if G0D would be accepted as an autocorrect option in spell-check?

Fascinating article, btw. Those do seem to be on the order of Schrödinger's cat variety odds.
