The plural of Lego is Lego.
Although the Lego company itself and non-US territories treat Lego as uncountable, the US uses Legos as plural

You can disagree based on the above, but this is simply descriptive linguistics

linguistically speaking, most of the time they are.
you have a problem with Canadians, Mexicans, Cubans, Bolivians, Argentinians, etc.?

I find many Americans in places like Honduras and Colombia to be correct, linguistically speaking.

Why are you saying Canadians over in North America are wrong? I happen to have been friends with an American there who was very correct about many things, and has not visited the U.S. often.

(I really love word play.)

I see the confusion. «Americans» is used by the people in United States of America as their demonym, wrong use of the word. This is mainly because the average people on USA do not know or use the correct name for their country: «United States of America» and reference their country name as just «America» implying they live on all the continent no just the country...

In Spanish we have «americano or americana» which have the meaning you are implying: any inhabitant of the America Continent, people from Canada to Argentina, and we use «Estadounidense» as the demonym of the people native from United States Of America.

You stated my point, people on United States of America generally uses the language on a wrong manner.
 
I'm not actually into poke-the-man
Ditto.

So mewtwo...I mean, you too.

I try to avoid a venom drench from those fer-de-lance serpents over there. They could KO quickly. The "ten-minute snake" is quite dangerous, but the Belize locals say it's more like you take three steps and die after a bite.
