Default Will everyone stop saying tic

I recently read that younger people are referring to
the way they input data on computers and phones


"Enter" data, not "input" it. Why create a new usage when existing words are
fine?

as "keying". Supposedly it came from really young
kids who have grown up with computers.


"Keying" might just as well have come from typists.
