I found these guidelines on tumblr the other day. As a linguist, I have my own thoughts about language guidelines. In short: They don’t work.

First things first: LEGO® is the acronym derived from Danish leg godt (play-well) and was initially used as an adjective. Not everybody knows…

Haha.  Great read.-MBG

Odd how we were just talking about this on a forum and I had no idea that the plural was not a ‘useable’ word.
