Lego + Dream Theater + lots of free time + the mind of a teenager = WIN

Fun Fact: The word 'LEGO', when used as a noun, should only refer to the company that makes the product. Otherwise 'LEGO' is supposed to be used as an adjective. Thus, when referring to the pieces, neither 'lego' nor 'legos' is correct... rather one should say: 'LEGO bricks' or 'LEGO pieces' or whatever (using LEGO as an adjective -- and one should really capitalize all of the letters, and put the little 'circle-R' symbol after it (®)). This is all a matter of protecting the trademark of 'LEGO' for the company (using it otherwise degenerates the strength of the trademark).

Definitely a silly American thing.  We tend to fuck up pluralizations by just applying the most common rule, but then we also seem to have the most rules and exceptions of any language.

If you make something out of Lego bricks, the Fun Fact says you should always say "Lego bricks" or "Lego pieces".  I always figured you could say you made it "out of Lego" because you're referring to Lego as the medium, the same way you could make something out of clay or out of wood.  But you can't say you made it "out of Legos" because each piece is not "a Lego".  You wouldn't say you had "a clay" and found "another clay" in a drawer and therefore had enough "clays" to make the model.  You had some clay, and found some more clay.  Same with Lego.  It's made of Lego, not made of "Legos".
Title: Re: Lego Dream Theater
Post by: bosk1 on April 07, 2010, 08:27:05 AM
Don't care.  It's always been "legos" in my house and among everyone I've ever known.  Even if it's not technically correct (which I admit it isn't), it is a widely accepted usage.
