I know that Lego is the plural of Lego, it just doesn't sound right
People have corrected me on it, but it does sound wrong, and there ISN'T ANY POINT IN CORRECTING IT ANYWAY
What do you expect the world as a whole to gain, other than your personal gratification that you have singlehandedly rustled the jimmies of an entire forum?
For your information, boy is not spelled boii, and that is obviously worth pointing out because it is a flaw in speech, which is the highest offense that can be committed on this Earth other than lack of punctuation.

Lego isn't even a word. It's a name brand, who cares how people say it?

If lego is the name brand, what do we call them? Bricks?

e-maxx · April 28, 2013, 02:52:44 PM

because it sounds better

They are loving bricks.

John Freeman · April 28, 2013, 02:53:35 PM

Ah

I love my loving bricks!

No it isn't legos. LEGO is a brand name and multiple LEGO bricks should not be called legos.

You obviously don't know how plurals work.

"Look at all those LEGO"

has a bad ring to it, I'll stick with LEGOs

ResonKinetic · April 28, 2013, 03:00:40 PM

Or you could call them "LEGO's bricks."

Because I have seen people place the incorrect word "legos" in posts on forums too many times and they need to be taught a lesson :P

is that a threat

Wait, so "Hey, drop those three LEGO!" is correct? That sounds...not good.
