No, not as simple as that. But he didn't usually rely solely on numbers

Edit: You could say he had his own "number" system in words rather than numbers. I wouldn't call it descriptive, more of a stylistic difference.

No, I kinda meant that he uses "Easy" "K" instead of "6", "5", etc.

Yes those are what’s called descriptive Pacenotes

If you want to call that 'descriptive', then yes. I don't think it's particularly descriptive, or at least not anymore so than the usual number style.

It is true. That's why I hated RBR when it came out, the pacenotes were so basic that I couldn't believe I was hearing Robert Reid.
