Yeah, but why do you care? Well, Scott, since you work for Lego retail, that's
another issue, but for most people, standing up for someone else's
marketing/branding program is silly.
I honestly don't care if someone uses the term "Legos". Pointing it out
automatically identifies you as someone who doesn't have better things to do
than to point out inconsequential naming conventions for something you didn't
have anything to do with anyways, apart from being a fan.
Either on a point of accuracy (Example: "I have one of those Pentium 530 Mhz
computers." "They never made a Pentium 530Mhz. There's only a 500 and a 533")
or as point of "trade names" (Example: Xeroxes), either way, you shouldn't care.
Be concerned when most Americans can't find Afghanistan on a map or name a
single French product. Don't be concerned when someone doesn't use the "proper"
(and by that, an artificially constructed naming convention) name for a
commercial product.
