A Swedish-American WW1 hero was being interviewed on the BBC. "Dere ve vere in de trenchess," he said. "It had been real qviet all day. An den ve heard diss noice, an ve looked up in de sky, an dere vass diss fokker comin right at us."

"Excuse me," said the interviewer. "Perhaps we had better explain to our listeners that the Fokker was a type of German aeroplane that was equipped with machine guns. Isn't that right?"

"Ya, dat's right," said the war hero. "Dere vass an airplane called de Fokker. I remember dat. But DISS fokker vass a Messerschmitt."
