No one uses the official names. “Dad, please could you pass me that Brick 2x2?” No. In our house, it’ll always be: “Dad, please could you pass me that four-er?” And I’ll pass it, because I know exactly which piece he means. Lego nomenclature is essential for family Lego building. “Dad, I’m building a roof for the medical pod, but I need a hinge-y bit to make it open up. You know, one of those four-er flat hinge-y bits.” ]]> Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:01:00 -0700 http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/opinions/a_common_nomenclature_for_lego_families.php
