The Nokia N90, $900 Camera Phone Reviewed

Lord_of_Tech writes "CoolTechZone.com has reviewed Nokia's N90 cell phones that comes with 2 megapixel camera and a host of other features, and it costs a solid $900 per unit. "The minute you set your eyes on the N90, the first thing that springs to your mind is 'it looks a lot slimmer in photos...' but as you take it out of the packaging, you realize the heaviness of it. To be very clear at the outset though, this is not Nokia's attempt to produce as sleek a phone as the Motorola Razr. What it is designed to be is a feature packed phone that doesn't mind compromising on the ergonomics to pack in every last bit of functionality you could ever want on a camera phone."

and here I just thought it was simple pluralization (is that even a word?)... if the plural of ox is oxen then the plural of box must be boxen.

No, the parent is right. "Boxen" is trendy and stupid. It comes from
pluralizing "ox" (the livestock), but neglects to consider the convention of other words. For example, the plural of "fox" is "foxes," not "foxen." The plural of "pox" is "poxes." Actually, even the word "box" itself is supposed to be pluralized as "boxes." Have you ever heard anyone outside of the geek-clique say, "Hey Jim, hand me those boxen over there, would you?"

It's a trendy way for geeks with self-esteem issues to be trendy in a cult-humour sort of way, and feel like they belong in some sort of elite club that misuses words. Merriam-Webster, Oxford, and every other dictionary I checked all pluralize "box" as "boxes," and not a single one of them included any reference to an alternate pluralization ending in 'n'.
