Lego vs Legos appears to be another North America vs The rest of the English speaking world thing. A collective noun feels weird to my American ears since they are individual pieces that are countable. It’s not a big deal though. I enjoy having different ways of talking.
The word “lego” doesn’t originate from before the 15th century—in fact Legos themselves don’t go nearly that far back—so the common rules for modern English grammar apply.
Eh, well, in your profile pic you look a lot balder, beardier and purple than she does in her Instagram posts, but it could just be bad lighting I suppose.
Oh yes, definitely. Otherwise the Minotaur might escape and frighten the other railway station users when he should be enforcing the unwritten rules of the urinal.
I think the switches are nice but in the modern world you really don’t need to unplug a vast majority of things. Even my $30 120V USA space heater shuts itself off if it tips over or gets too hot. My cell phone charger pulls functionally 0W while idling.
this is something I’ve heard a lot from people in the UK, do UK electronics not have switches on them or something? all electronics I’ve ever seen living in the US have a power switch on them, do you think we unplug our stuff to turn them off?
Lots of devices have status lights and other circuutry that still gets powered when “off”. Its not a huge difference, but its nice to skip the unnecessary draw.
But what about when you need to plug your hair dryer in and need to remove a lamps plug and it ends up on the floor and then you get a knock at the door and its your friend and you go out and forget all about it until you get home and completely fuck your own feet
UK sockets usually have switches on them. There’s no need to unplug things when you’re not using them.
Also, Lego is a collective noun. Saying legos is exactly like saying sheeps.

So are sheep.

I think you mean sheeps.
Are you my older sister? She does this to me too.
No. Definitely not. But maybe. But most certainly probably no.

They do some things right in the UK. But does every toilet need to be hidden in a basement labyrinth?
Oh yes, definitely. Otherwise the Minotaur might escape and frighten the other railway station users when he should be enforcing the unwritten rules of the urinal.
Which makes it extra amusing to me that they coat the pins or whatever with plastic so you cant accidentally touch live while inserting it.
Boy I bet youre fun at parties
The ladies flock to me for my witty pedantic corrections.
it’s sheeple.

I didn’t know you people had only one of them.
I have:
All the switches. All the joy. No need for plugs left on the floor.
No, but my point was that there’s no need to unplug something and leave the plug on the floor if there’s a switch.

Why not drop the plug at the wall instead of in the middle of the floor where you walk, or get a multisocket? £3.99 at Argos for a little one.
All these questions and more will be asked on the floor, clutching ones foot
Thanks for the chuckle.
