Frizzle terminology: Frazzle vs. Curly?

[NewGuineaChooks]

I had previously heard of the term 'Curly' applied to a chicken that has a frizzle gene from -each- parent. Today I read a thread that called them 'Frazzled'.

Is there a difference between the terms Curly and Frazzle? Is it a dialect difference? An official vs. casual terminology difference?

Curly and Frazzle are the same thing. I prefer to use Frazzle to because Frizzles are all curly the ones with two copies of the gene sometimes don't have enough feathers to even be considered curly.
