LKPike:
but why is everyone online lately saying G-d, instead of God?? ] Maybe I missed the meeting to decide god is now a dirty word? or are "we" all just that chicken of words? >>>>>>>

Not taken personally at all.
I was taught never say
G-d's name in vein.
It is out of respect. Just like a person would where
wear a hat or scarf when
you are in a religious place.
