noun
noun: sox; plural noun: soxes

1. 1.​
   nonstandard plural spelling of sock (sense 1 of the noun).
   
   
   seeeee, seeeeeee. Sox is one, but plurally its soxes. I like soxen better but oh well.
   and sox is a word, you word-correcting, carrot chewing rascal!
   

I don't know where you found that, but whoever made that entry should have their head examined. "Nonstandard plural spelling of sock," and the plural of the plural is "soxes"????? That's not English, it's gobbledygook!

 

[Alaskan]

Maybe it is gooby gobble?




But gman's second poem, it a masterpiece!

It is also why Alaskan does not think that anyone should have English as their first language.

Second language, sure......but don't force a small child to sound out letters, read and spell in English for their first language........that is much too cruel!

 

[Alaskan]

Why English is so hard to learn”


We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,

But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.


One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,

Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.


You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,

Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,

Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?


If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,

And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?


If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,

Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,

Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,

And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.


We speak of a brother and also of brethren,

But though we say mother, we never say methren.


Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,

But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

Ummm . . . . it ain't his.

Duh! Never said it was mine.

I don't plagiarize. If it was mine I would have said so.

Still its a masterpiece of sorts.
