Let's not nit pick over a name. Last I knew, it was also
considered perfectly acceptable to call the "Continental Code"
"International Morse Code." Yes, there are significant
differences in the adaptation we use on CW from the original
Morse Code, but there are also many unchanged characters. I
feel quite comfortable just telling folks that I do Morse Code.
They would have no idea what I meant if I referred to it as
"Continental Code." It doesn't bother me at all if the ARRL
calls it Morse Code sometimes either. I think Samuel F.B. Morse
deserves the honor.
