LEGO OR LEGOS?
LEGOS: this should be a normative debate
Lego:
Let goI'm not sharing my Lego with you. So there.The motion doesn't attack the evolution of language but asks what is correct/right.
Lego is a word, Legos is not and if you're still confused check the Oxford dictionary or Webster.
The question is not IS the plural 'lego' or 'legos', but what SHOULD it be?And I would advocate 'legos'. Yes, I can see that it sounds cack. And Yes, I can see the strength of the argument that any proponent of 'legos' might be viewed a pedo. But let me say one thing: would you censor a person for trying to push forward the boundaries of language?Look at what is going on in other subject areas. Already, the pluralised use of 'internets' pervades our daily life. Various other previously laughable pluralisations are now accepted vernacular, and I think that we, the vanguard, need to be identifying new pluralisations and aggressively promoting them.Who's with me?
