Best Answer

The name/word is holy and so even though we're writing it in English, many of us prefer to leave the word incomplete. This is so that if what we write the word on gets destroyed, the word G-d does not get destroyed with it. So it's just a sign of respect for G-d, and in fact not all Jews abide by the custom of leaving out the middle letter.
