Legos is grammatically correct.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, that's Lego. Legos is a large metropolitan city in southwestern Nigeria.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

no, that's Lagos. Legos is a principle of rhetoric along with pathos and ethos.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which should be your original comment instead of the trademark thing.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

no, I don't care if it's grammatically correct.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Great, doesn't change the fact nobody is passionate about protecting trademarks as you are saying.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yes they are, because the word Legos has nothing to do with grammar

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So what? Them being wrong about grammar doesn't change the fact they are speaking about grammar.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

no they aren't. they're talking about a trademark.

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, about the grammar of a word that happens to be a trademark.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you're being purposely obtuse

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Go ahead and continue pretending grammar nazis have a secret agenda of white knighting for corporations then.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

no one made a general argument about grammar nazis so far but here you go: grammar nazis are a different kind of wrong and dumb, but this is not about that. if it was, I'd be making fun of them for that reason. you're engaging in strawman arguments now, you might as well just quit because you clearly have nothing here.

I did, I said generally their motivation is not concern for trademarks. It was in fact my first comment here.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I obviously mean no one you're arguing against. grammar nazis have no relevance to this entire conversation. except the one you're having with yourself.

Your replies to my comment are off topic then, because that's what my talking about.
