    +John Donovan American English tends to have hegemonic power that British English has lost now. So the '-ized' ending is common elsewhere, and among second-language speakers – it also makes orthographic sense, honestly; that's a voiced phoneme.

    As for what your example sentence refers to… I frankly have no clue. A barista with weird taste? 🙂
