Checkbox vs Tickbox ? Any difference ?

This is just a weird question, that puzzles me...

In my cell-formating options, in the data-formats --- I have the option to choose "Tickbox". Not "checkbox".

All tutorials I've seen, and other people working in numbers, all have "Checkbox"-option. For some reason - this is called "Tickbox" in my app.

WHY ?

Have tried to figure out why, and cant find any info on it ?? (I realise that it probably makes NO difference in regards to functionality!)

* And I am on the newest 14..4 version *

My guess is that it's a language issue. US English uses the term "Checkbox" and other English-speaking countries use "tickbox." Same meaning, different "language." Those tutorials are probably made by US English users.
