The phrasephrases "which reads the symbolic language a bit at a time" usesand "each bit exists in only one place" use the word "bit" which may be confused for the computing meaning, rather than e.g. "little". Just in case early machines did read single bits while interpreting, I opened this discussion rather than making the edit.
