Default What's the difference between a determinate and a bush tomato?

I've read that determinate and bush varieties are the same, except that some people use the term "bush" when referring to a determinate variety. Does a bush produce longer than a determinate? I'm thinking of the Better Bush (same size and taste fruit as an indeterminate Better Boy?) Bush Goliath (same size and flavor as an indeterminate Goliath?) and Bella Rosa, Dixie Red, Amelia, Red Deuce, etc. which are considered determinates.

Does a dwarf fit in a separate category, or is it also considered to be a bush or determinate? Or is a dwarf totally different? I've never seen a plant here labeled as a "dwarf." Or, are all three considered to be the same, just with different designations?

Will appreciate any answers. Thanks in advance.
Don
