confectionary

Is it singular or pural? Graham Beards (talk) 19:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the word refers to a) the candies, b) the practice of making the candies, and c) the place where the candies are made, stored, and sold. So the answer to "is it singular or plural" is.... "yes". You can hire me to work at your confectionary, where you can teach me confectionary, so that I can make confectionary. DS (talk) 20:23, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So what about "confectionaries"? Graham Beards (talk) 20:25, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
