Lego bricks. Lego pieces. Boys of Lego

Is not Lego plural

Like a kid would say "Do you want to go to my house and play with my Lego?"

Use it in a sentence where it's plural and makes sense

I love playing with my Lego plastic bricks!

I love playing with my Lego!

I love playing with my Legos!

So everyone you know in person says the second one?

"I play with my Lego often"

LEGO is a trademarked name

Correct way to talk about Lego bricks is to say Lego bricks

"Pass me all your Lego!" Is not a correct sentence. "Pass me all your Lego bricks!"

If there were 15 Lamborghini cars in a parking lot. You'd say "That's a lot of Lamborghinis"

Lamborghini doesn't have to worry about Lamborghini becoming synonymous with "cars". So Lamborghini doesn't care.

If everyone keep saying "Legos" for "Plastic Bricks". Lego could have a trademark situation on their hands, so they try their hardest to stop people calling the individual plastic blocks Legos.

It being plural is like a myth.

I have many Lego. I enjoy playing with my Lego. My Lego makes me happy.

7+6

You need 3 to get to 10. 3 left over. 10+3=13.

I'd split up the 6 into (3,3) in my head

Same thing as 7+3+3

In total approximately 70% of incoming radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and the Earth’s surface while around 30% is reflected back to space and does not heat the surface. The Earth radiates energy at wavelengths much longer than the Sun because it is colder

No, the energy captured by solar panels wasn't already going to turn into heat to be released and trapped by earth's atmosphere.

No one understands what a bidet really is.

In the old days, they were a separate free-standing device. Not a lot of people have space or money to add one of these types of bidets to their bathrooms

Now they make them as toilet seat attachments that don't require extra space and really aren't that expensive.

But people don't know. Older people will be like, "Oh a bidet? No I don't want another toilet like device in my bathroom"

So that gets rid of all those people.

Next you have the people that know about the new style bidets that's just a fancy toilet seat.

Their biggest deterrent is probably cold water. Spraying cold water on their butt doesn't appeal to most people.

You can get bidets that heat the water, but you have to have power behind your toilet, which not everyone has.

Then you have older people that just can't work them or don't feel like they can. Like my grandfather, I installed one with all the bells and whistles for him. Yet hitting a button and doing all that was too complicated. He was 90+ and could barely use a cell phone for basic functions. But he'd rather wipe his butt like he knew than mess with the "complicated" bidet.

Eventually everyone is going to own a bidet, it really is the way to go.

We just aren't there yet.
