Seems like a US thing to call it Legos, never heard anyone in the UK refer to it as anything but Lego.

- arthurfm 11y agoI live in the UK too and have never heard anyone refer to Lego as Legos. The latter sounds extremely odd (in the same way that 'sheeps' does). I wish North Americans would use the correct pronunciation.
- fnordfnordfnord 11y agoUS person here. I grew up calling them Legos. I don't know why. I even spent a Summer in Sweden (and visited Denmark several times) when I was a child; yet I still wound up calling them Legos. I don't refer to sheep (plural) as sheeps, though. I'm just happy that my neighbors aren't including an errant apostrophe ie: Lego's
- mc32 11y agoIt's not dissimilar from walking up to the counter at a coffee shop and ordering two large coffees. Everyone knows it's two large cups of coffee. So Lego bricks become Legos. Nothing fancy.
- pbhjpbhj 11y agoI call the individual articles "bricks" or "pieces" and the collective "lego". UK born and bred.
