Should it say "text terminals" perhaps?

This is the terminology used in (info "(elisp) Frames"):

       There are two classes of terminals: “text terminals” and
    “graphical terminals”.

We also have (info "(emacs) Non-Window Terminals"), which seems to be
speaking of "text terminals".  Should that node be renamed to "text
terminals" for consistency?
