The "the war of the bricks"Quote: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)
, true, the simple brick collection is becoming rare. Even the name Lego is lost for these new specific items. They ask 'Bionicals' on their wish-list. Lego is forgotten. But they ask for the Lego castle, the Lego pirate ship. Never seen it with an s here.
Legos would be as unfamiliar to us as Lego is to you.
Quote:but here are some legos that are sheep, etc.
Which illustrates that many items have nothing to do with bricks any more.
No ice in ice cream, twosleepy? We call it 'ice' or ijsje. The cream is not mentioned at all and the good ice cream should have a texture that 'shows' the ice in it.(imo)
