Is XKCD wrong? Does centrifugal force ≠ outward force? 

I've heard a lot of debate to centrifugal force vs. centripetal force? Why is this so easily confused? Is a bunch of people misreading wikipedia? I apologize if this is a repeated question (as I imagine it is) but I couldn't find anything with a search that answered my question.

In grade school they teach you that centrifugal force is what you feel on a merry go round. In highschool they teach you that centrifugal force does not exist, only centripetal. In university, they teach you that centrifugal force does in fact exist, for observers in a rotating frame of reference.
