    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

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

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

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

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