   What's your point though? The OP was demonstrating that constructing plurals based on the given pattern does not hold generally. If you're stuck on boxen, then choose some others: man -> men, pan -> ?

    Many in the West are surprised about the approach of moderation towards alcohol that many Hindu sects advise. It's not forbidden, but also anything harder than wine is seen as out of balance. Here is a lecture about it from Sivaya Subr

    Try reading any newspaper, then read it again a few weeks later. You really have to have been not paying attention for a long time to not have noticed

    You're overthinking it. You can have a few in the know coordinating the direction while the eager idiots follow. It's happened time and time again throughout history.

    No, you're inferring about WHO this is. I am saying, literally everyone on this planet has experiences which are specific to their skills, their reach and societal perceptions about them.
