69 Wiper/Wash knob

I finally found a reasonable NOS (small) 2 speed wiper switch. My question is about the word "Wash" on the knob when installed. When the wipers are turned on, the text is horizontal, (normal), when off its sideways. the way the instrument panel is "keyed" to the shaft it cant ever be normal horizontal text when off. Is this how they all are? I don't want to drill out and make the knob a set screw round hole type if I can avoid it.
