If there are additional terminologies that lead to above meanings, please share.

Thank you very much.

Thank you first of all for taking the time to reply.
Secondly it is really unfortunate to limit the legal awareness and knowledge within the US borders!
I am only curious about the differences about those terms; NOT as you mistakenly thought for homework purposes!
