When I broke my wrist last year, I had NOTHING TO DO. I WAS BORED AS HELL and had NO HOURS AT WORK.



So you know what I did? I took my old Pentium 60 apart, and built a new case for it out of lego.



The challenge of building and mounting a computer in a lego set (with a broken wrist) kept me busy for a while. LOL.

This may seem random, but...



It seems you pronounce multiple pieces of Lego as Legos.



I say Lego, like "look at that house made out of Lego", without 's' to mark the plural. Similar to "look at all the sheep". One sheep or lots of sheep. One piece of Lego or lots of Lego.



Damn strange "English" language.

wait what?



are you saying it IS Lego or are you saying thats just how you say it?

Legos is a pasta sauce.

pnuematics and electric motors were in the Lego Technics sets. Back in grade 5 and 6 we used to have Technics sets and problem cards. You had to make something out of Lego to solve the problem on the card.

no, we have Legos pasta sauce.



I was looking at the Lego mindstorm website. I think its a personal preference on the pronounciation. There is people on the community saying Lego's with the 's but I can't see any official writing of Lego as a plural.
