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

Legos is grammatically correct.

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

No, that's Lego. Legos is a large metropolitan city in southwestern Nigeria.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

no, that's Lagos. Legos is a principle of rhetoric along with pathos and ethos.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 month ago

Which should be your original comment instead of the trademark thing.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

no, I don't care if it's grammatically correct.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Great, doesn't change the fact nobody is passionate about protecting trademarks as you are saying.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

yes they are, because the word Legos has nothing to do with grammar

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

So what? Them being wrong about grammar doesn't change the fact they are speaking about grammar.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

no they aren't. they're talking about a trademark.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, about the grammar of a word that happens to be a trademark.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

you're being purposely obtuse

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Go ahead and continue pretending grammar nazis have a secret agenda of white knighting for corporations then.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

grammar nazis have no relevance to this entire conversatior

Your replies to my comment are off topic then, because that's what my talking about.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago
