type vs enter

[Gray, Steven (EPS)]

If I can offer an alternative to the debate, I'd like to put the word "key" out for consideration. My colleagues frequently say "key in the text" rather than "type in the text." The thought is that we are using a keyboard, rather than a typewriter.

Yeah, I know it doesn't fit with the Microsoft recommendations, but I feel no love for Microsoft anyway.
