What hurt you today?

[Anarion]

Yet you don't eat a bowl of grape, but a bowl of grapes.

 

[AreJohn]

Because it's English.

 

[Anarion]

Then you might as well say legos in English.

 

[AreJohn]

You might as well **** off and stop polluting my beloved and nonsensical language.

 

[Anarion]

Ok, take back centuries of imperialism.

 

[AreJohn]

No. Some people needed civilisation.

 

[Anarion]

Then you've forfeited your mongrel growls, Albians.

 

[Dystopian]

Everyone needs it

Spoiler: needing it

Your logic depends on Lego being the singular for a piece of Lego- it isn't. You play with pieces of Lego, you may have a single piece of Lego in your hand or you may have many pieces- some Lego- spread out on the floor before you. You may have a box of Lego. You may want to buy some more Lego, you may want different types of Lego.

As I did the one on Britain's invasion of Hungary.
Maybe opening a Tesco counts as invasion, too.

There's no reason why lego can't be singular too. I bet there's a lot of people who use it that way, and at that point it's become so. Same as other brand names that become parts of the language.

There's also a lot of people who don't say 'legos'.

 

[Anarion]

There's also a lot of people who don't say 'legos'.

Well yeah, and that's fine.

 

[Mad Vader]

Peoples who don't say legos are legions.

By the LEGO of Kûrvi-Tasch, these Romans are crazy.

My neighbor was hired to cut an enormous amount of hay for one of his relatives, only to have the lady welsh on payment. Instead of giving him money, she just gave him half of the hay bales. He's done everything in his power to sell or store as many as he could, but we've got a big storm moving in soon so he's down to just giving the bales away before they get soaked. My Dad and I have spent the last two days loading up $700 worth of free hay, every one of them massive round bales. We're wiped out. And my sister is bringing my niece and nephew to visit for a week, so I have until tomorrow to clean my house up as best I can. Good fun.
