Do I have this nomenclature correct?

The harmonica utilizes:

   1. Blow and draw
   2. Draw bend and blow bend
   3. Overblow and Overdraw are sub-categories of Overbend

OVERBEND
This term clutters understanding because it combines two previously defined
words already in use.
I wasn't there when it started, so it's too late to change the culture. I
hope writers will drop it.

(Oh no! I have just used several minutes discussing it! And I have added to
the archive FOREVER!) <grin>
