Comment on British plugs
bricklove@midwest.social 10 months agoThis appears to be another North America vs The rest of the English speaking world thing. A collective noun feels weird to my American ears since they are individual pieces that are countable. It’s not a big deal though. I enjoy having different ways of talking.

The word “lego” doesn’t originate from before the 15th century—in fact Legos themselves don’t go nearly that far back—so the common rules for modern English grammar apply.

Lego is Danish. They are lego bricks or lego blocks or lego pieces or just lego. Not legos.

No. Definitely not. But maybe. But most certainly probably no.
