=====Adoshem=====
Up until the mid twentieth century, however, another convention was quite common, the use of the word, ''Adoshem'' - combining the first two syllables of the word ''Adonai'' with the last syllable of the word ''Hashem''. This convention was discouraged by Rabbi [[David HaLevi Segal]] (known as the Taz) in his commentary to the [[Shulchan Aruch]]. However, it took a few centuries for the word to fall into almost complete disuse.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} The rationale behind the Taz's reasoning was that it is disrespectful to combine a Name of God with another word. Despite being obsolete in most circles {{Fact|date=February 2007}}, it is used occasionally in conversation in place of ''Adonai'' by Orthodox Jews who do not wish to say ''Adonai'' but need to specify the use of the particular word as opposed to God.
