This link will take you to a paper that gives a LOT more detail on the use of those two words than I had any earthly idea ever existed. Damn I love the internet, the amount of information, useful and otherwise really is incredible.
Dang. And no less an authority than Merriam-Webster would seem to concur. I'm not sure what Mr Watt's credentials are but he also cites M-W and, damn he sure has the sheer numbers to back it up.
