So, the correct terminology is whole step/half step trill. If you use something else, just understand you would be going against the bible as Gardner Read and Kurt Stone (for 20th century techniques) are THE references for music notation.
Thank you Klangfarben. Actually I do read this out of my Harmony Books by William Toutant as well, I used in Conservatory when I studied Harmony, Counterpoint and composition. Although not being a Native, reading this post, I doubted there were other ways in English. But you confirm what I studied.

Thank you very much.
