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.
