MODERATORS
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
obligatory Mitchell and Webb https://youtu.be/qmVnr7rsWrE
Legos is grammatically correct.
No, that's Lego. Legos is a large metropolitan city in southwestern Nigeria.
no, that's Lagos. Legos is a principle of rhetoric along with pathos and ethos.
Which should be your original comment instead of the trademark thing.
no, I don't care if it's grammatically correct.
Great, doesn't change the fact nobody is passionate about protecting trademarks as you are saying.
yes they are, because the word Legos has nothing to do with grammar
So what? Them being wrong about grammar doesn't change the fact they are speaking about grammar.
no they aren't. they're talking about a trademark.
Yes, about the grammar of a word that happens to be a trademark.
you're being purposely obtuse
Go ahead and continue pretending grammar nazis have a secret agenda of white knighting for corporations then.
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.
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.
wdym, you replied my comment. your comments are off topic.
