not really. Arm refers to aarch32 specifically when we use 32-bit on ARMv8
so atleast we are speaking same terms.

<I>AArch32 state</I>
<DL>
The ARM 32-bit Execution state that uses 32-bit general purpose registers, and a 32-bit program counter (PC), stack pointer (SP), and link register (LR). AArch32 Execution state provides a choice of two instruction sets, A32 and T32.<BR>
<BR>
In implementations of versions of the ARM architecture before ARMv8, and in the ARM R and M architecture profiles, execution is always in AArch32 state.<BR>
