I liked the idea that 'typing' has now become 'keyboarding'. Nouns into verbs. Ho hum.

kind regards

No different than adding "tion" or "ion" onto a verb and making the verb a noun.... but that's off topic.

A friend with a teenage son, years ago, told me that the school the kid went to changed the name of the class to "keyboarding" specifically so boys would take it. "Typing" class sounded secretarial.

Keyboarding is a 20 year old term around here.
