::Is this usage of "typing" understandable? Entirely, I say; even well enough so for a newbie, I think. How do you justify that meaning? Hell if I know, but it patently works just fine for many people. Language evolves.

:::I did not argue with its understandability; that's not the point. Yes, language evolves, and it's important for it to do so. It's just that formal writing is not the place for it to do so. Formal writing has rules that casual language doesn't. We can't just throw anything "understandable" on the wiki, or we'll be filled with lols, wtfs, rofls and the rest.
