    fuck that. Lego is a company and I don’t need it to tell me how I can and cannot use their name. if they don’t like it they can suck my dick.

    I really don’t understand why there are so many people passionate about how to “properly” use The Trademark™ in The Way that was Sanctioned by The Corporation®

    just play with your Legos and get over it

      I assume the people are passionate about grammar, and their corrections have nothing to do with respecting trademarks.

        that’s even worse! especially because the vast majority of self proclaimed “grammar nazis” (really weird fucking title, guys) don’t know shit about linguistics as a science

        Legos is grammatically correct.

          No, that’s Lego. Legos is a large metropolitan city in southwestern Nigeria.

            no, that’s Lagos. Legos is a principle of rhetoric along with pathos and ethos.

            no, I don’t care if it’s grammatically correct.

              Great, doesn’t change the fact nobody is passionate about protecting trademarks as you are saying.

                yes they are, because the word Legos has nothing to do with grammar

                  So what? Them being wrong about grammar doesn’t change the fact they are speaking about grammar.

                    no they aren’t. they’re talking about a trademark.

      Actually, they are advocating against using it how the Lego company does. The Lego company uses LEGO in all caps.

        I’m pretty sure the reason Lego isn’t supposed to be used is because they don’t want the trademark to be genericized. the all caps thing is stylization, I doubt they give a shit if you type it all caps or not.
