Not only that, but those of us who construct our own sets will ultimately
just call the pieces by the names we like, and switch to 'official'
names only for online discussions if needed. Just like players started
calling the elephant a bishop. For instance I always call a B+N a
Cardinal, regardless of anyone who wants me to call it an Archbishop.
And if I ever get around to making a Navia Dratp set, I'm gonna make a
LOT of changes ...

Like that poem, 'The Moon': 

'You say it's made of silver, 
I say it's made of cheese. 
For I am an American, 
And say what I d*** please.'
