    My old man pet peeve: the plural of “vinyl” is “vinyl.” They are “records” or “LPs” - not “vinyls”. Now get off of my LAN! ;)

      Hey now, “vinyls” is a perfectly acceptable word… Assuming you’re referring to multiple different types of vinyl, rather than multiple records or other vinyl products 😉

        “Can you pass me the bag of plastic blocks?”

        Not

        “Can you pass me the bag of Legos”

        If you wanted a box of adhesive bandages. You’d say “Can you pass me the box of band-aids?” or a tissue, “Can you pass me a kleenex?”

        Companies do not want their brand to become generic trademarks.

        It’s not because Lego is already pural

        “I have many Lego blocks”

        Not

        “I have many Lego”
