Also Sam, I must say I laughed the first time I heard a brit friend say aluminum (why the need for all those extra syllables =p). However even The Lego Group (the offical arm of Lego, in the US at least) makes references to "legos" so I'm not sure. Of course there is the alternative OS for Mindstorm hardware called LegOS which doesn't help the confusion, but I believe purist consider "lego" to act as the singular and plural form of the word.
If it's any consolation, even being an American I always choose "-our" over "-or" when spelling words (i.e., favourite). I hope this is one small step to bridge US/UK relations (well assuming you are from the UK, I know Lego is huge in places like The Netherlands).
