(as they say in “clerks II”, it the ONLY trilogy!!!)

Actual English: Well, I personally feel that there should be some rules in language, that allow us to understand each other easily.

Oh, and Lego is a word Lego invented (contraction of “leg godt” (play well)) I feel they’re probably the best people to tell us how we should use the word.

Course, you can call them Legos all you like, Hell you can also call them Trevor, for all I care. You’ll be wrong, but you can do it. People who know better will just correct you.

There’s definitely a dialect difference here on opposite sides of the Atlantic. In America (at least in my part of the US, but I think it’s continent-wide), lego is a count noun, with plural legos: one lego, two legos.

Berk, Neill, is it even a count noun in your dialects (which I would guess to be British)? Can you refer to one lego, two lego? In this case, it would be a noun like “sheep”, which is a count noun with identical singular and plural: one sheep, two sheep.

Or is it actually a mass noun, like “mud”, as in “made of lego”? If it’s a mass noun in your dialect, then I’m not even sure it makes sense to speak of a plural. (Although, mass nouns do sometimes take a plural to indicate multiple kinds of the substance in question.)

So enough with the “plural of lego is lego” pedantry; either it’s a count noun with plural “legos” or it’s a mass noun with no plural.

(I think; if someone genuinely thinks “two lego” is OK should chime in if that’s the case.)

Also, the movie was awesome!

If you have more than one of something, the word usually changes. In colloquial usage, lego (small L) is pluralized as legoes. The only people I have ever run into that do it otherwise are pedants that got the info through fan clubs or Lego themselves. It’s like getting grammar lessons from members of a LARP – as a general rule I don’t do it.

If you refer to the pieces as Lego rather than “Lego bricks and toys” (christ, who would do that?) then it’s perfectly valid to refer to multiple pieces as Legoes.

Claiming yet again that it’s “wrong” doesn’t make it so.

Furthermore the locals here (you can google ‘Janner’ to find out more) stick ‘s’ on the end of most nouns and verbs.

Next you’ll be saying there is no ‘u’ in colour?

Let’s just vive la différence. (Except when it comes to pre-industrial revolution weights and measures – There’s not much to Vive there)

“whattup, son?”

“are you kiddin’ me?”

I wonder how this split came about?

Also, people who say “data are” are the same pretentious tools who say “virii.”
