I'd recommend a trigger comment word other than `notc`. It's hard to remember - not obvious why it would be `notc` in the first place. But also it would be pronounced like "nazi"? Not exactly the association you might be looking for.

Wow! Good catch! The idea was to be: "NO Try Catch" and somewhat recall "NO T ry C eratops", but now that you pointed out it doesn't make sense sense and it's not intuitive. What do you think about "notry"?

  notry is better. But why not be more verbose and just have `no_try_catch`

    Why not the standard `noqa`?

I'm not a native english speaker... but how in the world "notc" sounds like "nazi"? I'll try to pronounce it like "no-ti-see", or "notick" or something like that

  I'm a native American English speaker and automatically read notc as "not-see" which is the same pronunciation as nazi

  In my eyes, the options are "no tc" and "not c". "Not c" is pronounced exactly the same as the german loanword.

  If I say it as "not C", then it does not sound much like "nazi", but if I say it quickly, then it could be mistaken for "nazi". I am not a native English speaker either.

    I am finding this specific comment fascinating, as your two sibling comments--which I presume, like me, are native English speakers (I specifically am from the mid-wear, importantly near Chicago, with a slight bit of Southern, and now I have spent half my life in California)--believe "not C" to be pronounced the same as "nazi". FWIW, they aren't the same, even when said quickly; but I will claim the difference is entirely in the syllable stress: nah-TZSEE (the T in "not" is unvoiced due to collision with the tongue position of speaking the letter "C", even when said slowly, unless "enunciating") vs NAH-tzsee; but the underlying sounds are exactly the same... similar to how "content" has to very different meanings as each of an adjective ("i am content with that") and a noun ("i posted some content") and are pronounced very differently, and yet the same ;P.
