ad hoc

Seen in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4260

   Basic Service Set (BSS): A set of stations controlled by a single
                  coordination function, where the coordination function
                  may be centralized (e.g., in a single AP) or
                  distributed (e.g., for an ad hoc network).  The BSS
                  can be thought of as the coverage area of a single AP.

This is also the way Wikipedia uses the phrase with "Ad hoc..." being used at the start of a sentence if need be.

@darkdrgn2k Can you remove your double votes? You've voted both up and down on some of them. If you have no opinion, just don't vote.

Wiktionary says that ad-hoc is an alternative spelling of ad hoc, which suggests that we should stick with ad hoc. I feel fine resolving this issue with the conclusion of using ad hoc, and then a search tool like ripgrep can be used to find all the occurrences of alternate spellings and they can be changed.
