My old man pet peeve: the plural of "vinyl" is "vinyl." They are "records" or "LPs" - not "vinyls". Now get off of my LAN! ;)

Hey now, "vinyls" is a perfectly acceptable word.... Assuming you're referring to multiple different types of vinyl, rather than multiple records or other vinyl products ๐Ÿ˜‰

I often listen to vinyls of my favorite band... The Divinyl.

They're probably the same people that talk about "legos".

"Can you pass me the bag of plastic blocks?"

Not

"Can you pass me the bag of Legos"

If you wanted a box of adhesive bandages. You'd say "Can you pass me the box of band-aids?" or a tissue, "Can you pass me a kleenex?"

Companies do not want their brand to become generic trademarks.

It's not because Lego is already pural

"I have many Lego blocks"

Not

"I have many Lego"

So "vinyls" is a big no but listening with the sleeve on is A-OK?
