Also, I’m not especially perturbed by his use of “LEGOs” as a designator, since that’s how approximately 100% of non AFOLs refer to them. Coin of the realm, so to speak.

no. Nowhere near 100%. There’s a very high fraction of LEGO fans outside North America.

A fair point, I suppose, though I maintain that since I was referring to “non AFOLs,” I’m not sure that it’s relevant.

(...) That * was actually an ahem but FTX ate the rest. Sounds harsher without it. Ignore the word 'fans'. Very few non-AFOLs here or in Europe would call them LEGOs. Ergo not even close to 100%. (13 years ago, 12-Mar-12, to lugnet.general, FTX)
