They should feel very guilty of confusing "numerique" and "digital" all the time.

In French, 'numerique' generally means 'digital' and 'digital' only means related to fingers (e.g. fingerprint is 'empreinte digitale').

[pilsetnieks]

In English "digital" also means related to fingers (because your hand has 5 digits.)

Yes, in contrast to "manual" (related to the hand), but in regular usage most people think of digital as a reference to non-analog technologies, not a reference to their fingers.

Unfortunately, we don't have a good equivalent to digital in french: numérique means "relative to numbers (nombres)", digital means "relative to digits (chiffres)".

I am in favor of using digital in french (we learn to count with fingers after all).
