It's not because you're close to the German border. Apparently anyone anywhere else in the EU except France gets redirected to the German website. (France is the only other EU country where Framework decided to open sales.)

The noun "boxen" is only used as a joke ("Unix boxen"), which is precisely why I thought it would make a cromulent example. And you're of course correct that "fishes" exists as a plural form too.
