names of God, as if it matters

I had looked up "the tetragrammaton" and found a page on wikpedia, lots about Jehova vs. Yahweh, with sidetrips into Adonai et al. Laughed at myself when I realized the 2 identical Hebrew characters were where they were because Hebrew goes right to left.  Well, duh!
But all this discussion and argument about which vowels, and inflection, who cares?  Do scholars, or perhaps theologens, think God cares?  Does the almighty first-impulse creator breath-giver not listen if you accent the wrong consonant?  How silly!
