ATC Break Through

[Tony]

This is a typical conversation with ATC.

Me:    ...Light Sport 110TU type P208...
ATC:    Is that a Cherokee?
Me:    Negative not a P28, it's a P208, Tecnam P2008 Light Sport
ATC:    Is that an experimental?
Me:    Negative.  It's an LSA
ATC:    Standby 

I have been called a Cherokee and a Cessna (when visual) by ATC on numerous occasions.  

Finally this weekend a break through when I heard ATC say this to a plane behind me in the pattern:

ATC: ...Number 2 to land behind that high wing turning base.  It's a light sport.

WooHoo!

If I had a $1 every time I've been called a Caravan, I could afford to buy a Caravan!

I guess they just assume it's a mistake when they see P208.  P208?  C208? What's the difference?
