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.

Which should be your original comment instead of the trademark thing.

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.
