- Used exclusively in the very small circle of Latin teachers and Latin event organizers in San Antonio, Texas. There is a yearly convention of high school Latin students in San Antonio in which many of the students take tests pertaining to Latin. After the tests are graded by a Scantron machine, William Lee does something to the scores to adjust them. Only three people know exactly what that process involves, so “Williamize” is used to describe the process instead of an exact description.
Williamize
verb; derivation Affixation
A mysterious action done by William Lee to adjust the scores of tests.
