re: #162 Destro

It wasn’t a typo - religious people misspell god as Gd because they think the wicked scary fairy sky creature will be angry they said his name out loud or spelled it.

How polite of you.

& wrong, of course.

We truncate his name to make sure it gets the due respect it deserves. Once it is written, whatever it is written on becomes, in effect, a holy work, & may not be destroyed. Nothing is more ephemeral than computer screens - you turn them off, & everything disappears.

But at least now I know just what your problem is.
