But you're spelling them the same way, just saying them wrong!!!

Have you ever considered that you're just enunciating inefficiently?

'Inefficiently' yes. 'Enunciating' no. I like 'BRZeeee'.. inefficiency at its best...

Well there is little sense in playing with a singular Lego.

You can get a 'Lego brick', several bricks 'Lego bricks', 'Lego set' and those who are really friendly with Santa 'Lego sets'. Never get Legos.

i love saying jag-u-ar. it sounds like a presumptuous entited ass, and that's exactly who chooses to drive a jag-u-ar in my area.

and i'll say aluminimuminuminum, especially while operating machinery that is cutting aluminuminuminum.

also, i'm learning that lego, the company, is the one seemingly enforcing the plural version of lego to their trademark:
https://painintheenglish.com/case/46...rand%2Fcompany.

therefore, "i loved being surrounded by a pile of lego's as a kid."
