Pokemon already stands for something plural though (Pocket Monsters). According to Wikipedia, LEGO's a shortening of "leg godt", meaning "play well", so it seems acceptable to make it plural. (Granted, I don't speak Danish, so maybe not?)
The proper name would be "LEGO Bricks", anyway.
- anigbrowl 14y agoLego also stands for something plural. That's how it has always been used, and hearing/reading it the other way is just as jarring as talk of sheeps or rices would be. Please stop.
- mibbitier 14y agoI made an igloo with some snows last winter!
- pavel_lishin 14y agoDid you see any Mooses while you were out there?
- delinka 14y agoThat's "meese," you pedant.
- CodeMage 14y agoHuh, for some weird reason I always thought iglii were built out of ices. Never really looked into it until now.
- mkr-hn 14y agoI've always used Legos. Not that it matters since you understand it either way. Do you routinely struggle with minor usage differences?
- anigbrowl 14y agoIt jumps out at me, the same consistent misspellings or grammar errors do. Os I wouldn't say I struggle with them, but they are certainly an annoying distraction.
- mkr-hn 14y agoWe're already diverging from the official version, so I don't think one could be more correct than the other. This is like arguing over whether "octopuses" or "octopi" is correct when the etymologically correct form is "octopodes." Only pedants and etymologists worry about it.
- anigbrowl 14y agoI like etymology, and I'm fine with being a pedant too.
