It is forbidden to say G-d's name in vain, and everyone who says G-d's name in vain transgresses a positive commandment... This is an aspect of the fear of G-d, that one should not mention His great Name except by way of praise or blessing whenever required, or when learning Torah. One should be fearful and one's entire body tremble when mentioning the Name, but one should not say it (G-d forbid), in vain; And this applies not only to the special Name but to all the names specially referring to Him - not just in Hebrew, but even in any language it is forbidden. One who curses a neighbour or himself by using the Name, or by one of His attributes, such as the Holy One, may He be blessed; ''the Great''; ''the Mighty,''; ''the Revered,'' ; ''the Faithful,'' ; ''the Glorious,'' ; ''the Strong,'' and ''the Steadfast,'' ... in any language, is liable to be whipped. Due to our many sins, most people are not careful and say in Ashkenazic, Gott soll ihm strafen etc. and by doing so transgress a prohibition of the Torah. If one curses without mentioning the Name or one of the attributes, or if the curse can be inferred from the contents of the words, for example when one says: ''May that man not be blessed by G-d,'' and the like, even though one is not liable to lashes, nevertheless, it is a forbidden act. It is likewise forbidden to write the Name in a letter, in any language. Many people make a mistake with His name and write it in Ashkenazic, or they write the word Adieu, which is in the French language and means ''with G-d;'' this is definitely forbidden, since after some time, this letter will arrive to the garbage, and this matter causes poverty in Israel. ... When one wants to mention the Name, one should say the word Hashem, and not as many mistakenly say: Adoshem, for this is undignified when referring to Heaven.
