@Equinox: Said to be uncountable, yet we have an entry for political sciences. Could you shed light on this? PUC14:17, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

@PUC: Indeed, there is some subtlety here. In theory we could say "the political sciences taught by Uni X and Uni Y are different" but I doubt anyone actually says that. More probably if we talk about p~ sci~s we are just talkin about sciences (sensu lato, cf. "social science" which ain't a science) that happen to be political in some way. I've taken the coward's way out, and hung myself, and added a plural. Equinox 12:08, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
