> but if I say "Dell is a technology company and Cadbury is not," I don't think people will really object to that unless they're trying to be pedantically clever about it Such as if you were to ask people, "which is the tech company, Apple or Ford?", most would choose Apple, choosing to call Ford, instead, a "car company".
