What:
A player signals a foul or violation and yells “stop” or uses the incorrect name for a call.

Result:
The call should be dealt with as if the player has used the correct call.

Why:
It is clear that the player has seen a breach of the rules. This takes precedence over the technicality of knowing the correct term.

Extra:
The player who used the wrong term should make it a point to learn the correct term (Rule 1.3.1) and more experienced players should tell them the correct call (Rule 1.8).
