It's not a conspiracy and it's not a slight against God... not that you were suggesting it.
I am wondering why in the world you would post this on GLP.

It really very simple. We know who Adoni, El Shaddai, YHWH, etc... are, so it's a matter of simplification. If you look at it like this, let's say someone with no idea about the bible at all, picks it up and sees all these different names God gives to himself, to describe different aspects of his character, or different aspects of his relationship to his people, they might misunderstand and think there are many gods.
I think it is fine to say "Lord", etc... as long as a note is present explaining what was said in the Hebrew.

Again, why in the world did you post this on GLP?
Trying to start a pointless controversy?

If so, shame on you.
