In Australia (or where I am) stuffing goes inside the turkey/chook, it is usually made from bread crumbs, herbs, onion, bacon, crushed nuts,butter and the like.
Dressing is normally something that goes on top of a salad or pasta. It is normally runny and can be poured (- for example - French dressing).
They do say a dressed pig or a dressed lamb down here. That does not mean it is dressed in clothes or any silly thing like that, but it is cut up properly into butchers cuts, ready to cook or freeze.

Stuffing: Stuff inside the bird.
Dressing: Same as stuffing, but you mix in broth from the turkey/chicken and cook it in a buttered pan. The tops and sides come out of the oven crunchy, and the center is not as mushy as stuffing can be.
I prefer dressing.

"Stuffing" can be stuffed into the bird or baked alongside it in a separate dish, and the same holds true for the term "dressing," they write. "In the southern and eastern United States, people generally call it 'dressing,' a term that came about during the 19th century. Elsewhere, it's referred to as 'stuffing."

My understanding is that although the recipe may be the same the difference is how they are cooked. Stuffing is cooked inside the bird and is usually more flavorful and moist. Dressing is cooked in a pan in the oven (or, in some cases, out of a box on the stovetop) and it's crisper.

Stuffing - crammed in the fowl, dressing - cooked one by one. Dressing consistently regarded unusual to me– form of– why difficulty? they're many times used interchangeably immediately, merely like "yam" and "candy potato" that are fairly 2 thoroughly separate issues.

The difference is that stuffing used to dress up the turkey platter is known as "dressing". Their names really imply what they are: stuff-ing, dress-ing.

I think it is the same thing... just called different names depending on what part of the country you live in.
I call it stuffing. I was raised in Wisconsin and now live in KY.

None, they are just different names, like in Nova Scotia we call it stuffing but in Newfoundland they call it dressing. Its a regional thing.

Whether you live in the North or in the South. Northeners typically have stuffing (which is made with bread).
Southeners have dressing (which is made with cornbread).
