I don't work for The LEGO® company, but I do read bits of what they say. In
order to help you follow I've added a link to this message. I hope you have

The last page is
LEGO trademark usage

Please help us protect our trademark:

1.The trademark LEGO should be written in CAPITAL letters.

2.The trademark should not be refered to in a generic way such as "LEGOS" or
"legos," or as plural or possessive words like "LEGO's"

3.When using the LEGO trademark as a noun, never leave it alone. Always add
an extra noun. E.g.:LEGO sets, LEGO products, LEGO toys, LEGO building
bricks, LEGO universe etc.

4.The first time the LEGO trademark appears in a headline or title and in
the following text, it should be accompanied by the registration symbol ®.

End quote.

***Note if you cannot work out how to add ® to your text it is equally
acceptable to use (R) [Captial R in curved brackets] to indicate trademark.***

You know, Todd may have a fix for that, he's proposed having to e-mail
confirm messages, it'd stop hip-shooting and lip-flapping, or at least,
that's the plan.

(...) Thanbk you for sharing the information, Kyle. You are correct in showing me that I should say LEGO bricks and LEGO plates but even with these rules, you still violate proper grammar so how would you replace LEGO bricks and LEGO plates with a (...)
