Actually, writing “G-d” is used because any object that has G-d’s name written in it must be treated with respect. It cannot be thrown out, for example. It has to be properly buried. Thus, when writing a Torah or a prayerbook, the full word is written, but when writing casually, it is not, lest the place it is written need to be carefully handled, and buried.
