I promptly corrected him with "you mean 'chocolate' NOT 'candy'."

This creeping Americanisation of plain English has gone so far and no further in this family!

Sets my teeth on edge.......

Ouch! I would have been tempted to pretend I didn't understand 😡

Actually, "-isation" is imported from America, too. I've always been amused by that.
