Pardon my ignorance - what’s ‘play with my nuts’ a reference to for Carter, aside from his gonads?

He was a peanut farmer.

They made him put his family peanut farm in a blind trust so that he couldn’t benefit it during his time in office.

It’s for their safety. At that age the might build a sentient robot that votes for Trump who will then take away their social security. Thank you Lego, for responsible toy stewartship.

Do I pay attention to you or the box? Because I sure don’t want to be the one who kills Jimmy Carter by giving him Minecraft Legos.

I find “LEGOs” very upsetting.

Lego is not an acronym. It does not usually get all-caps in prose, though the all-caps logotype is sometimes imitated in text.

Lego is a proper name, and is also used as a collective noun. It does not get pluralized.

“You can’t play with Lego anymore.”

fuck that. Lego is a company and I don’t need it to tell me how I can and cannot use their name. if they don’t like it they can suck my dick.

I really don’t understand why there are so many people passionate about how to “properly” use The Trademark™ in The Way that was Sanctioned by The Corporation®

just play with your Legos and get over it

I assume the people are passionate about grammar, and their corrections have nothing to do with respecting trademarks.

that’s even worse! especially because the vast majority of self proclaimed “grammar nazis” (really weird fucking title, guys) don’t know shit about linguistics as a science

Actually, they are advocating against using it how the Lego company does. The Lego company uses LEGO in all caps.

I’m pretty sure the reason Lego isn’t supposed to be used is because they don’t want the trademark to be genericized. the all caps thing is stylization, I doubt they give a shit if you type it all caps or not.

In my word, you put Lego Men in your Lego creations. No LEGOs, no minifigs [the Lego Men that are female are Lady Lego Men], and no sets.

The whole ‘you make the rules’ aspect of the toy has been lost in a dozen licensing agreements.
