Using established terminology would help here.

Is there a compelling reason to still use yank/kill, instead of copy/cut/paste?
Why do we call the cursor the point? And so on.

These relics of old terminology should be updated to the accepted modern
variants to make the documentation is more accessible for emacs newbies.
