What's the difference?
The correct term is 'complex numbers', just like the correct term for fractions is 'rational numbers'. You don't get to change to a different adjective even if it would be correct in ordinary language.
And, really, the only thing you need to know about complex numbers is that i^2 =-1. All the rest of algebra works the same (although order properties don't exist).
