I assume the people are passionate about grammar, and their corrections have nothing to do with respecting trademarks.

that's even worse! especially because the vast majority of self proclaimed "grammar nazis" (really weird fucking title, guys) don't know shit about linguistics as a science

Legos is grammatically correct.

[-] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

No, that's Lego. Legos is a large metropolitan city in southwestern Nigeria.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

no, that's Lagos. Legos is a principle of rhetoric along with pathos and ethos.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 months ago

Which should be your original comment instead of the trademark thing.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

no, I don't care if it's grammatically correct.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Great, doesn't change the fact nobody is passionate about protecting trademarks as you are saying.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

yes they are, because the word Legos has nothing to do with grammar

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

So what? Them being wrong about grammar doesn't change the fact they are speaking about grammar.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

no they aren't. they're talking about a trademark.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, about the grammar of a word that happens to be a trademark.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

you're being purposely obtuse

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Go ahead and continue pretending grammar nazis have a secret agenda of white knighting for corporations then.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

no one made a general argument about grammar nazis so far but here you go: grammar nazis are a different kind of wrong and dumb, but this is not about that. if it was, I'd be making fun of them for that reason. you're engaging in strawman arguments now, you might as well just quit because you clearly have nothing here.

I did, I said generally their motivation is not concern for trademarks. It was in fact my first comment here.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I obviously mean no one you're arguing against. grammar nazis have no relevance to this entire conversation. except the one you're having with yourself.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

grammar nazis have no relevance to this entire conversatior

Your replies to my comment are off topic then, because that's what my talking about.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago
