The term "French fries" is simply a shortened form of "French-fried potatoes," referring to the cooking method, and not the country of origin.

And the french just call them pomme fritte- fried potatoes!
There are many cross-pond technical differences- 110/220VAC, NAB/CCIR, NTSC/PAL, uh, the schematic symbol differences, mmm, well, there must be more. Oh yeah, that perfect metric system. Raise a .4732l of IPA to it! :sam: Metric hardware RULES!
It's just like the changing dates for Catholic and Orthodox Easter, and Passover. There actually IS a set of rules, but I prefer to imagine a group of guys in black robes drawing straws or somethin'. So with tech stuff, it's lab coats and sliderules.
So we use a cross-reference with the tubes. Oih!! It's cheaper than CCIR MRL's!
