>>you'll get 2 shares of stock for every share you own.<<

There is a lot of confusion about stock splits because of the way they are talked about. You went on to explain what you meant, but the above sentence sounds like you get 2 shares for every share you own making 3.

Ericy said it was giving a stock bonus. Others call it a stock dividend. "Bonus" and "dividend" sound like you are receiving something of material value above what you alread have.

Level 3 called it a 1:1 split. Is this different from a 2:1 split?

You would think in the high level world of finance they would come up with a standard way of reporting these things.
