Reminds me of an old joke.....
Retired Polish pilot who flew Hurricanes with the RAF if WWII, being interviewed on local TV, tells the interviewer about "shooting down several Fokkers in one day". Interviewer asks for clarification.... "just for the benefit of the viewers at home, the Fokker was a type of German aircraft, wasn't it?"
"Ah yes" replies our Polish hero... "but these Fokkers were Messerschimdts".
(The joke doesn't work as well in type - how do you 'type' a Polish accent?). Never mind. The old ones... are still just the old ones.
