That is a lego BLOCK, or a lego BRICK if you prefer. You played with lego, building things out of lego BLOCKS. I can't work out where along the line someone decided that each little block was a lego. Who told you that each block was a lego? Nobody told you that! It isn't! You made it up and claimed that it was correct! And last time I checked, Lego was not an American product...

God, did you people eat too many playdoughs as children?

Correct ^

If you have 4 bricks in your hand you say: "Check out these lego," or "I have 4 lego blocks."

Saying I played with legos just sounds wrong.

You hate grammar don't you?

1. There is nothing wrong with the grammar in my post.
2. You spelled grammar wrong.
3. You're an idiot.
4. ...
5. Profit!

Proper Use of the LEGO Trademark on a Web Site
If the LEGO trademark is used at all, it should always be used as an adjective, not as a noun. For example, say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGO BRICKS". Never say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGOs".Also, the trademark should appear in the same typeface as the surrounding text and should not be isolated or set apart from the surrounding text. In other words, the trademarks should not be emphasized or highlighted. Finally, the LEGO trademark should always appear with a ® symbol each time it is used.

Yes but that is trade mark on a website so that doesn't apply when talking about legos in general. It doesn't say, "you must say Lego and that is it".

"Lego" 12353
"Legos" 11289
"Lego's" 101

Anyway, Lego may be a European institution, but if they're selling them in the US, and they are enjoying the US money, then they have to expect that us wacky USians are going to call them whatever we frigging please.

Legos for me.

AAAARRRGH!

Stop focusing on the fact that lego is from europe. If you replaced European with 'American' would your sentence make any less sense (yes it would be pointless, but would it be logically sound? yes).

Here's a way to use it in both ways. I made a LEGO house. I made a house of LEGOS. HMMM.. maybe it's the form of the word that matters. Descriptive for a product or a single brick. However you say it... I played with many bucket o' lego in my day.

It all depends on what part of speech you use it as... As a noun, noun describing a noun, adjective all different
