Oh, people (kids, parents, non-AFOLs) are using "legos" all the time around
here. It simply is shorter for "LEGO bricks" and everybody still knows exactly
what this term ("legos") is referring to. As long as it's not used in official
environment (to which I would also count forum and newsgroup messages on AFOL
community places as we are somewhat unofficial representatives of LEGO) I don't
think that should be much of a problem.

Argh. That's a problem! The Fools' Apostrophe![1]
[1] And since I'm not a native speaker of English I'm very close to be the fool
here myself.... (I hope, though, the apostrophe was correct at this place. ;) )
Bye
