Upon reading this, it is your formal duty to bust anybody who violates this rule in FF threads. It's not Legos, it's LEGO. It's not Lego, it's LEGO. It's not LEGOS, it's LEGO. It's not LEGOs, it's LEGO. ALWAYS. </prick>
Who SAYS that?! .....btw something's wrong with FF rooms. It won't let me edit the room name =| - Mona Nomura
hehe, it's not Trekkies, it's Trekkers - you go! - Cheryl Allin from NoiseRiver
It's not butter, it's LEGO - Mo Kargas
In informal exchanges, lax style doesn't bother me so much. Mistakes are always made, but you at least owe it to yourself to know the "right" way to do something. - l0ckergn0me
is that why you didn't join the legoS room????? - Mona Nomura
LEGO my eggo! (Sorry, couldn't resist) - Brad Butner from twhirl
Leggos make delicious pasta sauces though... - Johnny Worthington
"The word LEGO® is a brand name and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our bricks as 'LEGO Bricks or Toys' and not 'LEGOS.' By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you! Susan Williams, Consumer Services." - l0ckergn0me
learn something everyday LEGO - Beth Kanter
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - "Lego" is officially written in all uppercase letters. The company asserts that to protect its brand name, the word Lego must always be used as an adjective, as in "Lego set", "Lego products", "Lego universe", and so forth. - l0ckergn0me
They have a new iPhone app that allows you to build LEGO and order it online... It's still buggy though, it tends to brick the phone... BOOM-TISH! - Johnny Worthington
Yeah , yeah, so since when is it our duty to "preserve the brand"? - Brian Sullivan
What about double branding? Such as "LEGO my Eggo"? - Andrew Dobrow
BLASPHEMY! - Johnny Worthington
I am just curious as to when the begin prick tag started ;) - Tim Hoeck
I'll play with my Legos any way I darn well please. Even if that means saying legos instead of LEGO bricks. It's not my job to protect your brand. It's my job to have fun with your product. Your brand is your problem, not mine. :p - Alex Scoble
I think someone must've sat on a LEGO - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge from twhirl
language evolves better then corporate patents. ...I play with Legos! - Noah David Simon
Even the NYTimes doesn't use LEGO. They acknowledge the brand once, but proceed by using Lego. This is how I do it. Could you imagine placing an exclimation mark after every mention of Yahoo!? It just doesn't look right. :P http://query.nytimes.com/gst... - James Mowery from twhirl
Doh! I'll fix this on my about page at mattb4rd.com/eloi as soon as I get home. I can't access it from work because they force me to use IE. For some reason I can't login with it. It may be Citrix, who knows? - Mattb4rd
I'm soooooo guilty - Geoff Schultz
LEGO my EGGO - Shawna Benson
Hooray for Brian and Alex! Love your comments. You are too right - it is not the consumer's job to "protect the brand", it is the corporation's job. We just get to sit around and play with Legos. :) - Nathaniel Payne
UCase(Lego) - Josh Haley
Here, Chris - this is for you: http://nerdflood.com/2008... :) - Nathaniel Payne
Good one Nathaniel. And fast! - Josh Haley
logos? - Sean Oliver
if it's in ALL CAPS is it an acronym for something or are they just being self-important? - ian kennedy
Well the word ego is part of their brand...coincidence? I think not - Alex Scoble
Way to use some malformed XML - Bryce Roney
That's not XML, that's GeekSpeak(tm)...FTW! </pwned> - Alex Scoble
