The only modern artist I really listen to is CG5, he most most often makes songs about video games and memes.

"sked" is American English, "shed" is British English (or "real English"). Within the USA you'd probably be hard-pressed to find anyone pronouncing it the "non-American way", but outside of America both are used because of the influence of American tv etc.

Honestly, and at risk of causing a transatlantic incident as it seems to be mostly a US usage, few unimportant things ( :p ) grate me more than the word 'Legos' (or its cousin 'a Lego').

Lego is an uncountable noun (as confirmed by the company themselves, for the record!) and should not be pluralised or singularised. The system is Lego, the items are Lego bricks. No such thing as 'Legos'. :D

As a Briton, I can wholeheartedly say that I have never heard someone pronounce it as shed-duel.

Really? It's very common! Probably even more so in compound words like 'unscheduled'.

If nothing else, John Hammond in Jurassic Park uses it and then 'corrects' himself when he remembers he's speaking to Americans. ;)

And I would say that if Lego themselves had not confirmed it themselves for fear of losing their copyright, "Legos" would absolutely be the grammatically correct plural.

But my point is that the little plastic cuboid with the bumps isn't called 'a Lego'! That just isn't its name, and so a plural shouldn't exist. It's a brick, and always has been. The plural of brick is well-established as 'bricks'. The product as a whole is called Lego, the bits that make it up are not 'Legos'. Lego are actually encouraging the use of a less copyrightable word..!
