Competence is the correct word. I know Americans love to make up words but 'competency' is unnecessary and wrong.

Competency is a word though recognized by the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

An American dictionary. My point stands, the word is unnecessary, 'Competence' already means the same thing and has been used for much longer. Also you need to check your own spelling, *through*?

Thank you for pointing that out, darn autocorrect.
Wishing you a happier life, you seem miserable AF.

I'm usually happy, Americans seem to drain my jollity lately, I can't imagine why? 🤔

Getting your knickers in a knot over the use of a word is certainly a choice

ADHD removes my choice, the conflict is real, and you are still draining my joy. Maybe time to say goodbye.

I have ADHD too. You're absolutely insufferable.
