Those two words literally have exactly the same meaning, so that's just nonsense.

What is nonsense is being called a "beginner" for 20 years. Unless "beginner" is a polite term for "numbskull" or some such.
100-800 is novice, 800-1300 is beginner, 1300-1700 is intermediate, 1700-2200 is candidate and master, 2200-2500 is IM, 2500-2700 is GM... 2900 SUPERGM?
3000+ is super-duper-GM
I have been playing chess for 9 yrs but my rating is still 1167 as I have played rating tournaments very rarely.Am I a noob
Sometimes I play like a grandmaster, but other times, some players checkmate my King in the third move....🥺
1000-1400s is a beginner range
You sound like you don't know what "beginner" means.
A 1000-rated player would beat a real beginner 10-0, and none of the games would be competitive.
Beyond the nuances of meaning and definitions, I see it as a question of skill level.
If you've been playing the guitar for ten years and all you know how to do is strum a few songs, you're definitely a beginner, compared to how a guitar master plays. It's a bit the same thing with chess. Considering how a master plays and what I can do, I'm still a beginner. Taking this point of view, I also think that up to 1400-1500 you can still consider yourself a beginner.
It's not a shame, we simply have to recognize our real level, taking as a reference point the level of real experts, not that of those behind us.
Not sure, but this is a very high ELO:
