I allways thought East Coasters used PWB and West Coasters used PCB.

Is there a difference between a 
PWB - Printed Wiring board and 
PCB - Printed Circuit Board 
in the industry? 
     
Is it safe to assume (uh-oh) the PWB is the bare board and 
the PCB is the PCB w/components, i.e. a PCB assembly? 
     
Does anyone out there make a strict division between the two this way?
