I noticed that part of the "Williams Stadium" sign on top of the football scoreboard was ripped off on my drive in to work today.

alright, I can see someone going around correcting people's English, but come on man, it's Hebrew.

Actually, the word Jehova(h) is not even Hebrew...

The whole, its half Yaweh, half Adonai thing...

I think that's the case.

I learned that at my old school, they might not teach it that way here.

Sometimes you Baptists can be a bit different. :P

Its true. It was a word created by translators to signal to readers a name that should be read but not spoken in its original Hebrew form. But we digress ...
