Lego tries to get people to call it's toys "Lego bricks" rather than "Legos" but I think this has not really been successful.

  People who are legitimate Lego experts know better than to call them "Legos". These guys are being touted as Tech Gods who Have Something Important To Say To Their Generation. While it may be a little bothersome to hear a random person call them "Legos", it's not the same as hearing a self-proclaimed expert call them that.

    There are legitimate Lego experts? Also, I don't think I've met a single human being in person who doesn't call them Legos.

      I'm British and until American TV I'd never heard anyone call them 'Legos'

  Lego does that on the advice of their trademark lawyers, because nouns can't be trademarked.

  Outside the Americas, you'll get a whole load of funny looks when you call them legos. It's like pointing out a field of sheeps.
