I must beg to differ! I think part of the problem is that in the US, anyway, much of what are called "Legos" are specifically not bricks by any stretch of the imagination! Legos come in sets with people, parts of costumes, windows, doors, platforms, wheels, axles, lights, gears etc. etc. etc. Yes, "bricks" are still used, but there are so many more "non-bricks", that the term "Legos" seems to cover them all, and that's logical, Cap'n! :0)
