    Re: Lugnet Guide a lot less convenient today —Mark Sandlin
   (...) That's a lovely sweeping generalization you have there. However, I do share your complaint. One of my LEGO-related complaints has to do with the fact that people say "Technique" when they mean "Technic." "Technique" = (tek-neek) "Technic" = (...)

     (...) Just for my own edification, has there ever been an official pronunciation proclamation by LEGO (which, if not for the pronuciation they use, could arguably rhyme with "ego" despite its etymology) as to which is the correct way to say Technic (...)

        Re: Lugnet Guide a lot less convenient today —Jonathan Lill
     (...) How do you mispronounce Futuron? I assume it is to be correctly pronounced as future-on, but am I wrong in this?
