God forfend is clearly attested, but I don't think that this form is. , could you please cite your creation? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 06:12, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

god forbid
Neither god forfend (which I created) nor god forbid (which I didn't) can be cited from the first three pages of Google Books. Pur ple back pack 89  07:53, 13 January 2016 (UTC)


 * NGrams suggests that is used, but not .  Unfortunately the links for usage by time period at the bottom are not case-sensitive, despite NGrams being case-sensitive, so they link to the regular BGC results.  This may be NGrams making assumptions about using  at the start of a sentence etc.  - TheDaveRoss 13:58, 13 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Is the only dispute over capitalization? Bear in mind if deleted typing in god forbid will lead you straight to God forbid. Renard Migrant (talk) 15:04, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
 * yeah, pretty much. When I found out that most of the citations were for God forfend instead of god forfend, I went out and created God forfend.  Somebody can probably just delete little g forfend; I guess it isn't citeable Pur ple back pack 89   19:04, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
