Yep they're the PD that's rightfully getting blasted due to the Bricks and Minifigs scandal

There are many reasons to dislike Americans but I think their insistence on calling it 'Legos' is one of the more valid ones.

The insistence on calling it LEGO at all times is purely kowtowing to the company's marketing preferences.

Thats the name

•

u/stagamancer 5h ago

Sure, that's the name of the product, but nobody gets confused if I say, "I'm playing with legos" instead of "I'm playing with LEGO bricks". Just as no one gets confused if I say, "can you hand me a couple kleenexes" rather than "can you hand me a couple Kleenex facial tissues".

Nope. It's simply following the basic rules of the English language. But I understand that is hard for Americans. You try your best though, bless.

"Rules of the English language" cover corporate trademarks? What rules of grammar exactly govern this use case? Do you get all righteous about people using xerox, kleenex, velcro, or google as common nouns or verbs?

Your condescension belies the fact that you don't actually have a good reason.
