Smart, but fast and loose with terminology at times.
'CW' is a mode. It's simply a carrier 'modulated' (which means to impress information on a radio signal) by the simple method of switching it on and off. The language most often used in the switching is International Morse Code.
Morse is far from dead, and never will disappear as long as there are radio amateurs interested in communication for communications sake. Reasons: efficiency, and simplicity.
I'm in the process of setting up a schedule with G0DKO. If this becomes a regular thing, I'll post a frequency and a time. It will be HF sideband. No need for Morse!
GLS: I looked up N2KZ on QRZ. Quite the QRP op. He mentions Bad Axe, which is in Michigan's 'thumb' where, when I was a kid, there were pheasants.
