Hash-m

Many Orthodox Jews refer to God as "Hashem," which translates to "the name." One of the reasons is to keep a person from desecrating the name of GdashD or using it frivolously. But that doesn't seem to be holy enough for some people. A friend of mine recently came across a more pious spelling albeit incomplete spelling. It has been reduced to one vowel and written sans "e."

Here are a couple of examples of this new, exciting form of silliness:

In a eulogy on Aish's website: Rosh Yeshivat Slabodka, said that Rav Noach walked in the ways of Avraham Avinu to bring close to HaSh-m, Torah learning and Mitzvah observance, multitudes of Jews.

From a Talmud study site: (a) Successive messengers came telling Iyov of the loss of his property and children; Iyov accepted it and blessed Hash-m. The Satan still praised Avraham, and Hash-m praised Iyov.
(b) (R. Yochanan): "Va'Tesiseni" - if the verse did not say that Hash-m was enticed, it would be forbidden to say this.

This is ridiculous on many different levels. First of all, "Hashem" is not even the name of God. It's a fence designed so you don't actually say "God" when you are referring to Him/Her. So now they've put a fence around the fence.

And what made them decide to drop the"e"? There are six letters in "Hashem," any one of them could've been deleted to avoid sacrilege. Why the vowel? Why that vowel? And if this had been written in Hebrew, then there would've been no vowel to drop since all the letters are consonants and the vowel sounds are represented by symbols above and below the letters that are rarely written.

And how will pious Israelis tell people their names if this term is now verboten?
