Is it a fastener or an anchor?

Many people use the two words interchangeably including manufacturers.

However, attachment of non-structural items to concrete is generally considered to be "fastening", while attachment of structural elements to concrete is considered as "anchoring".

Or another way of looking at it is that fasteners tend to be lighter and smaller than anchors although some can be used for both applications.
