    I know what ‘numerize’ means in general, it just didn’t make sense to me in that sentence. I suppose I would have been less confused about ‘digitalize’/‘digitalise’ …

    We try to smuggle words to your side of the ocean.

    I suspect we’re on the same side of that ocean! Please don’t just assume that people are from the USA, it’s bad enough that people who are from the USA themselves make that mistake.

      Yeah it was just an attempt to make poor Internet poetry.

      My bad for the USA, it’s cool that on Lemmy we can come across people who are not just our own country or the USA. On the few networks where I am, this is not the case. I have to pay attention to my generalization bias!

        Nah, the internet poetry was fine, there was just that little bit too much ambiguity from the combination of slightly odd (to me) wording and cursive writing (the cursive by itself was alright, too, evidently I did read it right).
