What's the difference between classify and categorize when we use them to divide things?
According to Cambridge Dictionary,
categorize, UK USUALLY categorise verb [T]
to put people or things into groups with the same features:
The books are categorized into beginner and advanced.
I would categorize this as a very early example of Tudor art.
classify verb [T]
to divide things into groups according to their type:
The books in the library are classified by/according to subject.
Biologists classify animals and plants into different groups.
Even with the above commentaries and examples, I cannot figure out the difference now. :shock:
Thanks in advance.
