"Why do Americans call LEGO bricks ""Legos""?" The thing that gets me with the American pronunciation is it implies that an individual brick is ‘a lego’ so collectively they should be called legos, but its always used in the latter fashion because they always come in sets so you never have just one brick to call lego. Besides, LEGO is a brand name, not the name of the specific brick design. The actual product name is LEGO System for standard LEGO, like Technics or Duplo. Also, legos is never used by the company, because brand names are never pluralised. We're not all saying Mattels or Hasbros when we talk about other toys.
