用法筆記
Most often used before a noun (attributive). Pairs strongly with words for procedures, records, and equipment that used to be manual ('system, record, booking, scanner, engine'). The British spelling 'computerised' is equally correct in UK English. Distinguish from 'computerised data' which simply means 'kept on a computer' — adding 'computerized' usually implies a switch from older methods.
