If you lost more than one pair of glasses, would you say; "Have you seen my glasseses?"

If you were a fuckwit would you call your Lego 'Legos'?

Apparently so

The word 'LEGO', when used as a noun, should only refer to the company that makes the product. Otherwise 'LEGO' is supposed to be used as an adjective. Thus, when referring to the pieces, neither 'lego' nor 'legos' is correct... rather one should say: 'LEGO bricks' or 'LEGO pieces'

Fixed.

It's called trademark dilution btw. Like how Hoover makes vacuum cleaners, but no one "vacuums" any more, we do the hoovering. No one drinks cola, we drink Coke. So yeah saying 'LEGO bricks' is correct and everything, but really, who's that much of a grammar-fascist?

You drink a lot though don't you let's face it. It probably stretches to "glasseseseseseses" in those sort of moments.
