I'm hardly trying to be a dictator, king, Pharaoh or anything of the like.
All I'm saying is if you want to be understood by the largest possible pool of possible QSOs, then sending something CLOSE to1:3 timing would be a smart thing to do.
The sad thing is that you KNOW it sucks, but you LIKE that way and do it on purpose.
If it's just about bug OP to bug Op ( which I get the feeling that it is) then have at it with your own special version of code. It matters not to me!

I just spin the dial when I hear that bug nonsense anyway as many others do also.

I have seen musings here about the future of CW and how new OPs are "missing out" etc.
Unfortunately with all of the sloppy fists out there( yes, I'm one too- but I try to do better with every QSO) it's not very easy for a new op to find a station sending reasonable - yes I only ask for reasonable Morse code.
Then when I say that it makes communication difficult because it's too far off the "norm" I get attacked by CW "elitists".
That tells me that you really don't care about the future of the art, but just your own ability to copy bad code.
Apparently the aim is not to teach others how to communicate properly, but to dazzle people with your "secret bug code".
Wow! I'm impressed. So now what?
CW Mentoring is dead in Amateur Radio. I guess it's all about thinking you are elite and telling other ops they are not as good as you because they can't copy your bad code! Great guys, good job!
Slang is fine if it is used sparingly , but if the whole conversation is slang, you probably will only understand a portion of it.
The bug guys talk about 'mechanical sounding keyers" . heck, bugs were an early attempt at mechanization! Keyers are the modern manifestation of the bug.
If anything mechanical sounding bothers you, why not ditch the bug and use a straight key? That would be COMPLETELY YOU!
Have you noticed that I'm NOT railing against straight key? That's because bad straight key is never as bad as bad bug crap!
Even bugs are OK -if you know how to use one, but most OPs don't.
Please stop peeing on leg and tell me it's raining!
