I strongly disagree, Mike. Bjorn's suggestion to call it Transmit
Harmonic Prevention is a VERY good one, because it describes what the
choice does. It is NOT "split" in the sense it has been used in ham
radio for at least 70 years.
People learn from things being called what they are. Bjorn's suggestion
teaches. "Split" is wrong, confuses, and teaches nothing.
I do NOT agree with his wording for the three options, and propose they
remain the same.

Let's just learn that Split from 50 years ago has changed and is much
more flexible now than before.

I propose that the option "Split operation" in the radio settings of
WSJT-X is renamed "Transmit harmonics prevention"
to remove some of the confusion to those who struggle with digital
radio technology.
The three options below should be "I don't care if I QRM the band",
"Use VFO B", and "Use CAT".

Maybe I have not read enough of this tl:dr thread but if this is about
the use of the word 'split' as used to differentiate between the use of
the rig 'split' mode or the single vfo 'fake it' mode then I think the
use of any other word would be incorrect.
Both options produce exactly the same result at the antenna.
The one that uses the rig 'split' mode via hamlib SHOULD be called 'split'.
I disagree with trying to dumb this down for people who can't be
bothered to read the documentation.
The concept is simple enough to grasp for any licensed amateur.
