The plural of Lego isn't Legos or Lego...

Uncapitalized legos for life. Colloquialism, baby!
Also, there are TONS of non-brick format lego pieces. When we adhere to rigid brand-defined pedantry, we actually lose true descriptivity. You expect me to look at Bionicle (capitalized because it deserves that respect) pieces and call 'em bricks? *loud derisive scoff*

All I know is that anyone who says Maths deserves to be exiled to an island and not given any trade deals.
They also deserve to grossly overpay for video games and Toblerone.
This. You know exactly what someone means when they say Legos. The point is made, and anyone who wants to stir shit up for saying Legos over Lego Bricks are simply assholes looking for attention.
TIL that people think saying legos is weird. I have never met anyone that fully says lego bricks.
Watch it
How the hell is fury road a shit film?
I've always thought "millions" when talking about money is weird.
Why the "s"?? "Million" already means a lot of something. So it's $20 Million in the US, but is said $20 Millions in some places.

It's not the pluralisation I have issue with; I wouldn't call one record "a vinyl" either.
Oh, hah! You might be an outlier on that one, I don't know if I can follow you on that path
What's the joke here? That you don't know how to use nouns as adjectives?Here's some Legos Sheeps:
Awww, that little baby made from Legos, I hope they have more offsprings for her to play with!
How about some Legos Mooses?
Didn't know you could get Legos Mooses, that was news to me - looking forward to plenty more similar newses in future!
Fishs made from Legos:
Not sure what species the big one is, maybe they're all different specieses?
A classic - Legos aircrafts <3
They made a whole series of aircarafts out of Legos - I bet they could make plenty more serieses of Legos aircrafts.
This one is interesting - Legos Dices. but not made from Legos, they just have pictures of the Legos bricks on each face.
If you need anymore informations on Legos feel free to ask - I'll have all my staffs look into it for yous.
It's to get people really into Brand(R) angry and lash out.
look back a page they claim they were joking.
that battle is already lost though
Haha, definitely a losing battle these days, but I'm not alone.

Should we give up and let people call records "vinyls?"
Should we? Why or why not? Do you think it's going to happen anyway?

Why Do Folks Refer To Records AS "Vinyls", Or 'Platters"?
:realmad: IT DRIVES ME F^%&* Crazy when people refer to them as this. I dont refer to cars as "automobiles". Just call them what they are: VINYL...

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to listen to some records.
Lego needs to defend Lego bricks so its brand isn't generalized out of a trademark.
"That cut looks pretty bad. Can some one grab the bandaids?"
Not
"That cut looks pretty bad. Can someone grab the Band-Aid adhesive bandages?"
Or more dramatically, "Can you bring the dumpsters to the road?" Where the dumpster trademark is no longer enforced.

That you didn't understand that that's what my post actually meant is š
I used to work in marketing at an ABC affiliate, and every year we'd air the American Music Awards - commonly referred to as "the AMAs" - and the country music variant, commonly referred to as the CMAs. The one time we made a promo officially tying in our local programming with the CMAs, we said "tonight after the CMAs" in our script, and our spot got rejected and we were sternly informed we can't call them the "CMAs." We had to say "CMA Awards" because CMA is for Country Music Association.
Legos and K'nexes.
I never heard it any different growing up and now I'm too old to care
