Whats The Difference Between A Manual And A Wheelie On A Mountain Bike?

I thought that a manual was where you didnt pedal and when you did a wheelie you pedaled but heaps of people seem to think that they are the same thing.

    a manual is when you pull the front wheel in the air and you dont pedal, you just use the balance to go foward, while the wheelie is when you pull the front wheel and you pedal

    A Manual is for instance, when you jump up a curb or something,anything really and get a little bit of air and land on your back wheel only and hold front end up as long as possible just on the back wheel without pedaling.
    Wheelies are just leaning back and pedaling with your front wheel in the air.
    The Manual is a more difficult trick to pull off.
