You'd sound like a cigarette if you said "don't touch my lego bricks" and they will continue touching them.

I also hate it when people call minifigures just "legos"

"how many legos do you have?"

"a ton dude"

"awesome!"

later at my house playing with legos or some stuff

"dude you only have 10 legos!!!"

"no those are minifigures"

"NO THEYRE LEGOS"

OP

I say it Legos.
I don't see the problem. It's like calling multiple tissues 'kleenexes.'

You forgot to put a period at the end of your post.

The word is 'What,' you capitalize 'I's, and you missed a comma.

You forgot, once again, to put a period at the end of your last sentence.

You also forgot a comma.

DANBOII96 · April 28, 2013, 02:18:17 PM

Well you wouldn't say boxes of cereals either would you.
