https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/46217/todo-list-or-to-do-list >to-do is vastly preferred by formal publications; only in the programming world and some informal contexts does todo seem to be more common
Why should I follow the programmer convention when more educated people seem to prefer the hyphenated version?
Both are equally easy to grep for so I don't understand why anyone would prefer TODO.

because it's not linguistic style dumbass it's technical documentation. Everyone in this context uses TODO, searches for TODO, and has their software configured to look for TODO. Insisting on some other convention used in a different context is so moronic I can't believe you've managed to b8 me into wasting 5 minutes engaging with it

That's all cool and good but TO-DO is literally the way literate people use the word and TODO is an abomination.
I can understand continuing to use it in established projects but there's no reason it should be preferred in any context that won't introduce friction.

You are free to reconfigure your IDE and text editors to recognize "TO-DO" as "TODO" in your personal solo projects if it really makes you feel better. However, this objectively makes you autistic and may be grounds to institutionalize you.

Lowercase only search is usually case-insensitive so being all caps does have an explicit purpose.
>python
go back
???
This
The second one is moronic and isn't used anywhere, so I guess the first one.

@todo blah blah blah
easier to grep for
I prefer not using python
>// FIXED: Serves me right for using some freetard code off Shithub. Replaced with my own implementation that actually works.
TODO X
I often see professional programmers write XXX:
instead
TO-DO is easier to read.
