Okay, I guess my problem is that when I was a kid no one I
knew ever baked extra stuffing and called it dressing... in
fact there was NO extra stuffing.

As a grown up, I know people who bake extra stuffing -
outside the bird - which they call stuffing or dressing...
but there is no obvious differentiation between them. Hence
my confusion.
