I think the difference is the perception of whether a piece of Lego is “a Lego”; in Europe, that’s typically not the way the word is used.
I started writing a rebuttal that amused me until I noticed I’d misread your comment, and I don’t want to delete it, so despite being irrelevant to what you’ve said…
How many super glues do you use for a repair? Do you play on an astroturfs field? Are people carrying maces in their bag for self-defence? Do you eat Jell-Os and burn kerosenes?

All but one of those examples you mentioned are liquid, so they kinda don’t fit into this question 🤷🏼♀️ because we would say “a bottle of glue” or “a can of Mace” or “a bowl of jello” or “a can of kerosene.” I don’t even want to contemplate AstroTurf /astroturfs, it bugs me 🤣
I think the Lego/Legos debate is similar to the GIF/“JIF” debate.
One just seems intuitively correct tothe majority of people without overthinking it, and the other sounds & feels wrong.
That’s punishment for ‘Legos’.
I do not respect corporations. Legos.
If that were true, you’d just call them building blocks.
In Germany we call them Klemmbausteine, because fuck Lego.
Let’s go harder and do Lego’s. Lego’s
Legos’s
LegOS 1.2
Leg O’s
Oui le goes
Legos my eggos
Well okay I respect one corporation I’ll call it hook and loop
I will call them Legos till the day I die, like everyone I know has for 50 years.
I never heard them called “Lego” until the last few years. So its like kleanex and xerox
Legos legos legos legos legos legos
Don’t know (m)any Europeans then?
One Lego would be pretty useless, except as a caltrop.
If I see more than one thing, I put an “s” at the end of it.
I don’t support Lego tryin to be like “sheep” and “deer.” 🙄
