NXT Bluetooth "Dongle" or "Adapter"?

I've noticed that the MindStorms User Guide in the NXT set and official Lego
websites refer to using a Bluetooth "dongle" for your computer, but Bluetooth
"adapter" is also commonly used elsewhere. In fact, I'm using the DBT-120
adapter, which is an "adapter." See http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=34.

Is there any difference between a Bluetooth dongle and a Bluetooth adapter? Are
the terms interchangeable and merely synonyms?

Many thanks for any helpful information!
