  In my mind, I can’t checkout, because it’s a noun or an adjective. I always do verbs, so I check out.

    Exactly. I also try only to do verbs, although occasionally I verb nouns.

    Regardless, the counter you check out at is the checkout counter, while the counter you check in at is the check-in counter. So OP does still have a point.

  You can check-out any time you like, but you can never leave

    It is, but it wasn’t always.

    Just like “today” was originally “to day” and then “to-day”. People simplify stuff they use a lot.

    I logged all of my work for years and it shows that I’m not a logger.
