Yes, probably taken down due to a little 'backlash' from the masses--

http://customerevangelists.typepad.com/blog/2005/09/you_say_lego_we.html

and that was just a site I found right off the bat!

I will always endeavour to type 'LEGO bricks' and say the same.

However, I will not tell people that they're making transgressions because they
say 'legos'.  It's their choice, whether the person is a poster on LUGNET or a
newspapwer reporter.
