Forum:"Designates" vs. "Targets"

The wording on Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon specifically states "You can negate the effect of Spell, Trap and Monster cards that designate this card." Is there any reason why the card uses the word "designate" instead of "target"? does the word usage have any bearing on rulings?
