I’m so tired of the “this ain’t English class” mentality about articulating oneself. It’s one of those “freedom of speech isn’t freedom from judgement for it” issues with me. You’re free to only care about making yourself understood, and I’m free to think you’re intellectually lazy for it.
bruh, they’re patented plastic bricks! You getting this uptight about “proper language” only makes me want to lowercase label them out of spite. Good luck for when you run into people who literally never capitalize anything.
It’s “LEGO”, “LEGO sets”, or “LEGO bricks”, not “legos”… Other than that, you do you fellow human.
I do not respect corporations. Legos. They are legos.
And yet you still understood what she was saying. Curious…

There is no “correct.” Language is constantly evolving. The only thing that matters is being understood.

If you don’t use the correct term, the king of Denmark himself shows up to your house to pop your head off.
No gods! No masters! Death to all monarchs! 😤😤😤
Actually, I’d like to see you try. HM King Frederik is a former frogman (Danish navy seals) and still runs marathons at 57.
It’s not a matter of understanding, it’s a matter of using the proper name.
Akshually the proper name is “LEGO®”, so you wouldn’t say “LEGO bricks”, but “LEGO® bricks”.
Since ® isn’t pronounceable this does unfortunately mean you’re not allowed to mention LEGO® in spoken language, but that’s a small price to pay.
False, the name is Lego or LEGO. The ® just tells you that “LEGO” is a registered trademark.
If you want to best me at pedantry, you have to try harder … and being right would also help you.
Why are people having such difficulty respecting an entity’s chosen name?
Corporate entities don’t have the capacity to make choices for themselves. So it’s a given name, not a chosen one, and fuck that.
FTFY

Not patented since 1978. The bricks have been defended under trademark and copyright provisions of IPR law, but the patents are long been obsolete.
