LEGO OR LEGOS?
What is the correct plural for the term Lego, is it Lego or Legos?
Lego or Legos?
Yes, because... It is Lego.
1. Saying "Legos" rather than Lego makes you sound like a little kid.
2. Some people want everyone to say "Legos".
Ergo
3. Some people want everyone to sound like little kids.
I said 'Lego' as a kid and I still do, sometimes I call them blocks or Lego pieces though.
Vote on this point: It is Lego.

Lego or Legos?
Yes, because... lego doesn't have a plural
it is a non-countable noun like water you can say
some lego a piece of lego a box of lego
you can't say 'a lego' or 'two legos'
and it definitely doesn't have an apostrophe
Actually it does , the plural is also Lego

Lego or Legos?
No, because... LEGOS: this should be a normative debate
Lego: Let go
I'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?

Point 1. It is Lego.
1. Saying "Legos" rather than Lego makes you sound like a little kid.
2. Some people want everyone to say "Legos".
Ergo
3. Some people want everyone to sound like little kids.
Ergo
4. Those people are pedophiles.
I dont think #4 is valid so deleted it on 'executive summary'
I also think it might be a better idea to turn the debate into a more general debate on words and their plural, how many people are concerned about the plural of lego?
another interesting question might be whether it is different in differing forms of English.
I said 'Lego' as a kid and I still do, sometimes I call them blocks or Lego pieces though.
Point 2. Legos?
Legos does not sound correct.
It sounds correct to people who say it. Duh
Point 3. lego doesn't have a plural
it is a non-countable noun like water you can say
some lego a piece of lego a box of lego
you can't say 'a lego' or 'two legos'
and it definitely doesn't have an apostrophe
Actually it does , the plural is also Lego

as much as I hate 'internets' I accept that language is dynamic, constantly changing based upon our useage of the language. It is because of the way the language is used changes over time that we have differing types of English between the USA, UK, India etc.
