With asymmetric crypto algorithms processing data with private key is traditionally called "encryption" , and processing with public key - "decryption". In this terms signature is decrypted value of hash, i.e. when signing a message RSA using private key provides a sequence of bits that when encrypted will produce a hash.
Ah, if you use these terms in such way, ok, I agree. I prefer "encryption with public key" as it is more clear for me. Decryption of things that weren't encrypted beforehand sounds somehow strange.
