No, the word LEGO does not have an 'S' at the end.
Understanding the Correct Usage of "LEGO"
The correct way to refer to the popular building toy is simply "LEGO". Adding an 'S' is a common mistake, but it goes against the official usage guidelines provided by the company.
Why No 'S'?
Based on information from LEGO itself:
LEGO is always an adjective. So LEGO bricks, LEGO elements, LEGO sets, etc. Never, ever "legos."
This means that "LEGO" should be used to describe the things that belong to the LEGO system, rather than being used as a plural noun itself.
Correct Usage Examples
Here are some examples of how to correctly use "LEGO":
- LEGO bricks (not legos bricks)
- LEGO sets (not legos sets)
- LEGO elements
- LEGO figures (or minifigures)
- A LEGO fan
- Playing with LEGO bricks
Incorrect Usage to Avoid
- "I have lots of legos." (Incorrect)
- "Can you pick up the legos?" (Incorrect)
- "He loves playing with legos." (Incorrect)
By treating "LEGO" as an adjective modifying a noun (like bricks, sets, or elements), you ensure you are using the term correctly according to the company's standard.
