Calling anything other than gin and vermouth (unless it’s gin poured while looking at a bottle of vermouth) a martini brings to mind Lincoln’s comment about calling a dog’s tail a leg.
(Oh, and the gin should taste like gin, not be one of those nominal “gins” that might as well be vodka.)

What’s your take on Sapphire? IMO the best martini is made with Sapphire, with only the dry vermouth lucky enough to stick to the ice in the shaker. And 2 olives.

Right on!
Martini’s are gin and vermouth w/lemon twist or olives. Any other mix is a cocktail.
I hate having to order “gin” Martini’s because otherwise you may get a Bradford.
