I believe Org-mode is vastly superior to the alternatives because the
hyphen links the two little words into a fairly unique pattern that
results in pertinent results from search engines.

I believe every effort should be made to adopt Org-mode universally;
to use Org mode instead will make Org-mode material much harder to
find on the internet. 

Furthermore, to invoke Org-mode from inside Emacs, one types "M-x
org-mode", not "M-x org mode".
