Think I might have asked this before, but I can't remember the answer.

When does a missed approach become a go-around? Is there a general rule? Is it approach-specific?

Also, while this subject is raised, would it be fair to say that crews will avoid using the official term 'missed approach' in any passenger PA to avoid the unknowing thinking it is something other than what it actually is? (i.e. thinking it means the pilots messed up!).
