Is toad a frog?

Hello,

Dear Dr. Hamid, Tang (Tang Huoy Min) here .
I choose to write this post because I read a book today, which tells about the naming of toads and frogs.
I remembered that Dr. ask me a question during my progress report presentation, saying that if toad and frogs are 'frog', why is toad called 'toad'?
Well, here's the answer....
"The terms frog and toad can often be confusing, mainly because there are no real scientific rules to distinguish between two".
This statement are copy from book "Wildlife & Natural Resource Management by Kevin H. Deal (1998)".
Dr. please add me. My email address is mihon218@gmail.com
