Tell ya what you do ..... start writing letters to all those writers and
publishers of books, on the subject of navigation; all the marina
operators; port authorities; sailors, etc., and tell them JAXAshby says
the are to henceforth use only the term "ded reckoning" when discussing
"DR" and that it only applies to speed/time/heading.
Come back in a couple years and let us know how your campaign is going

There you go. And since JaxAss has no credentials whatsoever in any
field, I'm sure the publishers will cite him in their upcoming editions.
