A box is three dimensional. A square is not. A box is not a square. A box
is typically cuboid but generally it's defined by it's purpose rather than
it's geometry - it's designed to contain things.

Come on, we all know what a box is, that the plural of box is boxes,
that the plural of ox is oxen, and how silly English can be. But that
doesn't give anyone an excuse to make up stupid words like 'boxen' :)

And I've seen cubic computer cases.
