    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.
