Despite all that.

Doesn't make me wrong, either.

I think you'll now find that it does and that I have proved that it does. :p

Re: For the Lego Fans. And For the C&C Fans
For what it's worth, in Danish we always use "Lego brick" (well, directly translated, we actually use block, but brick is close enough) when talking about Lego components, or even forego the Lego part completely. There simply isn't a Danish form of "Legos" that anyone uses. Lego by itself is really only used when referring to sets of many bricks (whether for a a specific design or not), "I'm off to buy some Lego" or "I'm getting that Lego thingamajig we saw in the ad", and then when opening it "Oohh, look at all these new blocks/bricks I have to play with".

But it isn't like anyone here is particularly respectful of intellectual property-based arguments anyways, now is it? :p

Yeah, that's how we (as in, people with intelligence) use it as well. It's like bread. No such thing as "one bread" or "many breads" (well, there are, but that tends to refer to collection of different types of bread), just the overall concept of "bread".
But there you are.
