I assume the people are passionate about grammar, and their corrections have nothing to do with respecting trademarks.
Legos is grammatically correct.
No, that's Lego. Legos is a large metropolitan city in southwestern Nigeria.
no, that's Lagos. Legos is a principle of rhetoric along with pathos and ethos.
Which should be your original comment instead of the trademark thing.
no, I don't care if it's grammatically correct.
Great, doesn't change the fact nobody is passionate about protecting trademarks as you are saying.
yes they are, because the word Legos has nothing to do with grammar
So what? Them being wrong about grammar doesn't change the fact they are speaking about grammar.
