+1 for the double entendre title 😄
Thanks, I was proud of that.
As well you should be 😄🤜
Pardon my ignorance - what’s ‘play with my nuts’ a reference to for Carter, aside from his gonads?
He was a peanut farmer.
They made him put his family peanut farm in a blind trust so that he couldn’t benefit it during his time in office.
Do YOU want to tell Jimmy Carter what he can and can’t play with?
I didn’t think so.
I would
There is actually an official clarification from LEGO that the 99 years is definitely not a hard upper limit.
No one is getting hard at 99.
Not since Roz passed last year anyway
I find “LEGOs” very upsetting.
Lego is not an acronym. It does not usually get all-caps in prose, though the all-caps logotype is sometimes imitated in text.
Lego is a proper name, and is also used as a collective noun. It does not get pluralized.
“You can’t play with Lego anymore.”
Lmao Legos adults
LEGO is too an acronym. it stands for Leg Godt, Danish for “play well”
That’s…not an acronym. That’d just be LG.
what is it then?
It’s an abbreviation.
Not all abbreviations are acronyms, only the ones that take the first letter from each word. Lego takes two letters from each word, so it’s not an acronym.
On a similar note, some but not all acronyms are initialisms, if they’re spoken as the letters rather than the “word” they create.
FYI, DIY, PS are all initialisms, and also acronyms, and also abbreviations. ASAP, SCUBA, and LASER are acronyms and abbreviations, but not initialisms. Lego, appt, and st are all abbreviations but neither acronyms nor initialisms.
why is english like this… we just call it “shortening”.
Why does a language have different words for different concepts?
in my language we tend to use base words to broadly describe concepts, and combinations of words for more accuracy.
That’s a really good breakdown of the differences!
Now if you’ll excuse me I have a few Ell-Ee-Gee-Oh sets to put together. :p
Language is flexible. Deal with it.
You called down the ire of practitioners of the dark arts known as prescriptivism.
It’s actually an angry shout
Jackal.
Over a 100 years old, you can do whatever the fuck you want. You’re gonna throw him in jail? He doesn’t even know if he’ll live for another hour.
Conspiracy theory time: maybe they hate old people…
you can never be too old for legos
You need to be between 4-99 years of age
