We know some people using "professional" language make things shorteror talk
from a point of view different than others and often in otherwise
incomprehensible jargon.
If a programmer is taking about the algorithm that a function implements, then,
yes, they may write "scan" and "return".

The point of docstrings is
I don't use docstrings much; instead I put a line or two of comments
after the `def ` line.

I'm curious as to why so many people prefer "Return" to "Returns".

Not here; 'py.exe -0' gives:
