@garicgymro thinking about edge cases now. I think I’d call MnMs candy, but reese’s peanut butter cups chocolate? Something to do with unit size and crunchiness.

[Chris Kim @DrYDidNotAnswer]

@garicgymro US west coast: if categorising as candy/not-candy, I’d reluctantly categorise chocolate (bar) as candy. But if labelling, would never call it candy over chocolate. I think prototypical candy for me is hard candy, like jolly ranchers.

Terrible news that @UniKent is planning on cutting linguistics along with a range of other Humanities and Social Science courses. The kind of courses that give students the skills employers are looking for, but also the courses that help us make sense of the world.

I came up as a baby linguist going to lots of LSA annual meetings (including many memorable evenings spent with friends and academic idols in Hilton lobby bars), LSA summer institutes in random cities.

@linguistMasoud We have been trying (and trying and trying) to get hold of concrete data...
