tom bombariffic has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

I dont think thay were a separate race, but were still different to orcs. Where in the books does he use the names interchangeably? as far as I know, he always says orcs for those from isengard or mordor (or uruk hai) and always goblins in, say, the hobbit.
