"I think it is actually Rick Morneau's fault who uses the term
"morphology" that way, contrary to the way it is used in
linguistics.  This is one of the terminological mistakes which
have propagated like bushfire in the conlang community, like
Justin B. Rye's use of "experiencer" for an intransitive subject.
Any beginning conlanger should work his way through an introductory
textbook of linguistics in order to learn the terminology (and a
handful of useful facts about languages)."

I fully agree and blame it all on him. :P  But I'm getting better!
