Ha, you're right. Thank for the catch.
I too grew up with these and remember discovering DriveSpace, a Microsoft utility let you "compress a disk", including floppies. This would often double their capacity.
God I remember arc.exe and the first time I figured out how to write a proper command to compress some files. It feels like a million years ago.
