This quotation from <http://www.genfair.com/dates.htm>; sums it up:
To add further to the confusion, the phrases Old Style and New Style have
not been used only to refer to the start of year change. They have also
been used on occasion to refer to the change from the Julian to the
Gregorian calendar and more often to refer to the combination of these two
changes which occurred in England in 1752. We thus have two clearly
differentiated concepts but no terms which have been consistently used to
refer to them.
In other words,

Allen
