Are terminal writes atomic?

I have two processes doing simultaneous output to the same terminal using the
write system call. Assume A does a write of 10 bytes while B does a write
of 30 bytes. Can I be assured that A's and B's output will not be inter-
mixed? I understand that for pipes, they won't be mixed. How about terminals?
