COWORKER: Where can I get Swiss cheese around here? I haven't seen any, and I've been to the specialty stores.
ME: Around here, you can get it at the specialty stores under the proper Swiss name of "Emmenthal" or "Emmentaler." Obviously, in Switzerland, there are many "Swiss cheeses," each with its own name.
COWORKER: Oh. In that case, I've seen lots of it. Thanks.
