Reminds me how adults pronounced manga when I was in school. “Mang-ha”. Ugh.
Go play with your Legos, child.
Ahem… Lego bricks or Lego sets
Listen here, Zac. The meme is addressed to “Mom”, a representative parental figure of - let’s assume - Gen X. Now, Gen X was not really into anime, which is the butt of the joke. They weren’t a bunch of weebs and probably also refer to group of the Japanese warrior class as ‘samurais’. HOWEVER, they called lots of little bricks ‘lego’. It was Millennials that started calling them ‘legos’.
So, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy.
Excuse me, is that linguistic prescriptivism?
Worse: corporate prescriptivism.
Only after I started doing it myself did I realize how much our parents/older siblings were messing with us by mispronoucing the shit we cared about as kids.
So basically you’re the protagonist of this twitter(?) shitpost:
Not the protagonist.
We are legion, my friend.
The plural is “Chinese Cartoons” duh
