I disrespectfully disagree. I'm not really sure where I stand on Math vs. Maths (presumably on the much less gay sounding, Math). However, Lego is a clear case of the product being known directly by the name of the brand. The bricks themselves are considered Lego, hence a shit pile of them are Legos. Very similar to the Xerox brand being used as substitute for the word photocopy. While Valve makes many games, their products aren't referred to by the brand.
Lego refers to not only the brand, but the whole system of lego parts you can buy. Referring to one type of lego as "legos" isn't very clear. Saying lego brick, lego man, lego car, is. If talking about groups of similar lego parts, then the descriptive word following is pluralized. Lego bricks, lego men, lego cars. If you're talking about a collection of lego in general, then the term is still lego. "Clean up your lego!", not "clean up your legos!". I know this is not how Americans do it, but Americans are also the only ones who want to pluralize these brand names so being that the lego company is Danish, then by default the word should never be pluralized!
Got the day off as my daughter is showing signs of chicken pox and wife hurt her back so can't get her to docs. Her school has had a bit of an outbreak so it was inevitable I guess. Just s shame she will miss her last week of school. Now she has 8 weeks off before she goes back in September.
Every ti8me my mother goes to Fred Meyer she says Fred Meyers ever since my dad pointed it out, that ticks me off. EVERY TIME, even after me and my brothers say Fred Meyer she says Fred Meyers it's like she's not even listening. Not a big surprise on my part but.
When you were at school did you learn mathematic? Thought not. You learned mathematics, the abbreviation of which is maths. I'm not too fussed about people calling Lego Legos, what irks me is when they call it Laygo, or Leygo. Fuck's sake.
Mathematics is a collective noun, so it’s considered singular. You can tell that from how “mathematics” is treated grammatically: we say “My favorite subject is mathematics,” not “… are mathematics.” "Maths" is a British thing, but it's grammatically incorrect.
According to some tediously boring google results I read, you can make a case for either. Math is US/Canada - Maths is UK/Australian. However, Lego vs Legos is pretty clear cut on who's wrong. Still, I'm sure we can all agree that arguing about it is a huge waste of time and that, honestly, we all could care less about it.
I went to McDonald today and had one of those big chickens nugget shareboxes. I still haven't tried the ones from Burger Kings. Apparently they taste better.
I wouldn't share my chickens nugget either. In fact, I would order a second box and throw them away in front of poor people.
