Rename "remove checked items" to "hide crossed-out items"

Open icewater opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

As a new user, I hesitate to use the "remove" command because I'm unsure if it will permanently delete them. "Hide" would be more informative and allow me to use the app without trepidation.

There are no checked items, but there are crossed-out items :-)

I will change the "remove" word.

On a side note, since english is not my native language, do you think that the "check" verb is really not acceptable here? Should I use "cross out", or "strike"?

I think "check" and "checked" are fine. "Strike" and "stricken" are technically more accurate, but are not commonly used in this context outside of formal documents, at least in my experience here in the US. "Cross out" and "crossed-out" would be fine too, but they are longer, and feel a little too informal; I might them in instructions written for young children, for example.

I do agree that "hide" is better than "remove" though.

FWIW I think the recommendation from Phanx is reasonable.
