You mean legos. God, why do people not learn how language works?

Is Latin, innit

Ray traced dating sim survival horror sounds ace.

I'd play that only if the ray tracing was written by a newbie for an engine that nobody has experience in, using a graphics api that is about 6 years past it's obsolescence that wasn't designed to do it but will be shoehorned into something approximating it anyway.

• The LEGO brand name should always be written in capital letters
• LEGO must never be used as a generic term or in the plural or as a
  possessive pronoun, e.g. “LEGO’s”.
• When the LEGO brand name is used as part of a noun, it must never
  appear on its own. It should always be accompanied by a noun. For example, LEGO set, LEGO products, LEGO Group, LEGO play materials,
  LEGO bricks, LEGO universe, etc.
• The first time the LEGO brand name appears it must be accompanied
  by the Registered symbol ®.

A Lego brick is the most hideous version of a landmine i can imagine - parents can relate.

Lego trying to get people to think of them as a brand name and not a thing you build things with is like google trying to convince people that they "search for things" ...they dont google things.

No.

You are going to lose that war.

It was cold, okay? That's why my axe was so small.

"Hide in the closet from the alien or do you want to flirt?"

Perfect choices in life.

Youtube "Monkey Dust Mental Chess" for what it would be like. I wish I could link it...but you never know....

notes that language doesn't care about your trademarks. if you become too popular, you become a better descriptor for an object than general terms. you lose your trademark.

dems how things work. fight it all you want. But people google things online. and people build with legos.

For every penguin lover and John Carpenter fans. Do note that John Carpenter himself mentioned it was a better version than his movie :

In the UK no-one calls them Legos. Same in France, except if you get it wrong they set you on fire.

Reports post for political flame bait.

Or just never talk again with you - good luck getting your baguette in the morning.

Would be quite fitting if WW3 was fought over who was right- Lego or Legos.

dont you also call french fries chips and cookies biscuits, the trunk a boot and a truck is a Hugh Laurie? i'm pretty sure we can't trust the uk on the naming of things.
