According to Peter Prymmer:

I think that most of the hoopla is over the word more than
what it does.  Ask most people who don't program but use
the Internet and they will think of threading messages.  So
"threading" is a good thing - no?

Also I believe (from talking with various people) that many
people confuse parallel processing with threading.  *shrug*
Doesn't bother me.
