I've built sites before where the term "click" was automatically changed to "tap" on the mobile version.
It was just a function embedded in the multi-language routines.
4 or so years ago, I remember a frustrated Dev printed out signs on our floor at Zynga that was focused on the then early-mobile efforts that said “It’s a tap not a click!”

As a tangent, I wonder if we'll be stuck with "click" being a very common word to use to refer to following links when it makes no sense when in the context of a touch screen. English is littered with words like that, so it's possible it's here to stay, but occasionally (rarely, I admit), it jumps out at me as oddly out of place as it did here, even through it's entirely obvious what was being communicated.
