--- Comment #3 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Had this topic in the design meeting and the more clear distinction between
singular and plural is welcome.

But let's have a closer look. Searching for "comment" in Calc's customization
dialog returns:

officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/CalcCommands.xcu
.uno:CommentChange    | Comment
.uno:ShowAllNotes     | Show All Comments
.uno:NoteVisible      | Show Comment
.uno:ShowNote         | Show Comment

officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/GenericCommands.xcu 

.uno:InsertAnnotation | Comment (defined in CalcCommands.xcu too but with no
tooltip nor accelerator key- cleaning-up sounds reasonable here)
.uno:ShowAnnotations  | Show Comment

.uno:NoteVisible is not used in any xml/ui file, .uno:ShowNote is the command
in Calc's menubar.xml, cell.xml, and pagebreak.xml.
.uno:ShowAnnotations is on Calc's menubar.xml and notebookbar_groupedbar*.ui,
not in the context menus.

So, if at all, we have to change .uno:ShowNote. I guess your concerns is the
"Show" which is actually a toggle in Calc. Using a slash is an example for bad
usability, the better solution would be "Toggle Comment Visibility"- sounds
somewhat bulky to me. Better we do the same as on the main menu and have a
checkbox on the context menu that makes the functionality more clear. To do so
we need to merge .uno:HideNote and .uno:ShowNote into one command, which is
unfortunately not an easyhack anymore.
