I have no idea what you are talking about. Its totally clear what 'land value tax' is.

Land value tax already has a specific meaning as a class of tax systems. If it's poorly named from your point of view, I'm sorry - but I had nothing to do with the naming.

Yes, that's my point. Your use is incompatible with the existing use. You are not responsible for the conventional use of the phrase "land value tax", but you certainly are responsible for presenting your own ideas under the same name and acting confused when people assume you're using the ordinary sense of the phrase.
This allows you to avoid the logical inconsistency in what counts as land value that most proponents commit, at the minor cost that nothing you say has any meaning. What happens when I try to respond to your new point of view and you reply that, actually, you mean something different by "money" than what is normally understood?
What would you think if you voted to establish a "land value tax" and the tax that was put in place comported with the ordinary definition, instead of yours?
