The Lego Brand Police Must Be Stopped

AdRANTs points out that the URL legos.com doesn't merely redirect to the correct lego.com -- it takes the time to CHASTISE you for thinking Legos -- I mean, "Lego" -- are -- I mean "is" -- called "Legos." Brickheads.

How stupid. LEGO is the name of the company, yes, but "legos" are the actual block toys themselves. A "lego" refers to a single block piece of theirs, hence the term "I'm playing with legos".

They should be happy that they're so common place that people say "legos" and not "those block things by that one company."

That's just the way it is.
People don't say "I'm playing with my Slinky® spring toy", they say "I'm playing with my slinky."

DARRRRRRRRR
