Only a guess but;

True ground speed would be the actual speed over the ground.

Indicated ground speed would be the ground speed indicated by something like an INS system which could be different from true (actual) groundspeed towards the end of a long flight but not by very much.

Other than that, the person could be miximg up TAS and GS or TAS and IAS.
