Ok. Calling a plastic brick, 'a lego' is ridiculous, calling multiple plastic bricks, 'legos' is just an affront to the rules of English language. It's just Lego if it's made by Lego or lego if it isn't and as far as I'm concerned, it's an uncountable noun. I can't think of a need to use the word as an adjective!

Lego is a proper noun and that's all I care about, but it's a proper noun by virtue of language and not because someone is commanding it to be. It's now in common use as a simple noun which is also fine by me in the same way I hoover the carpet with a Dyson and eat Cornish pasties that don't come from Cornwall.

I have loads of Chinese lego and for the real hobbyists, I see nothing wrong with knocking up a few specialist pieces. Lego should think about all the original Lego they've bought and not be so arsey. As usual, common sense needs to prevail but when solicitors are involved, invariably doesn't .

PS As I wrote this on my phone, everytime I typed lego, the autocorrect changed it to Lego lol...big business is pathetic sometimes!
