People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

People who say or write 'Legos'
Not 'Lego' or 'Lego bricks'. Agh. Gun them down with hammers. Or something.

And if you think that's not irrational enough for this QOTW, you haven't seen quite how sharp I would want the hammers to be. And you're now as equally annoying as people who say 'Legos'.

Yes, but if I'd written it like that up at the top
I'd have been called a nob.
Anyway, do you actually pronounce the capitals and the '®'?

Why yes, I do. Doesn't everyone?
Leggooeer, Think Kenneth Williams.

I remember reading a related question on the Lego website FAQ's
The answer was "It's not Lego or Legos, it's Lego Bricks"

I find it best to explain that Lego is a substance, like glass or metal...
...and to use the word accordingly, as you would "metal" or "glass".
