It is often called a non-forcing relay. What's in a name ....
Useful to know, thanks. A name is just a name, but meaning is important, and I still find even "non-forcing relay" to be a mystification when the correct explanation is "pass with ♥ or correct to ♠".

Well, it is an unusual term which can only confuse, especially if you have unusual methods over pass-or-correct bids (we play double for takeout or penalty). So if a bid were described as a relay partner and I might be on different wavelengths, which is obviously dangerous with a two-way double.
Exactly. We play double here as takeout of ♥ (with some artificial replies) and it is important to know if this is on or not.
