definition 3 is not relevant, but i assume you’d agree that none of those definitions that were listed have specific statistical meanings
normal is not a useful statistical term: it does not mean average in any way - mean, median, mode, etc… normal is, in a social context, more likely to be interpreted to mean “Functioning or occurring in a natural way; lacking observable abnormalities or deficiencies”, so i think you’d have to admit being described as “not normal” would piss some people off
please adjust your language
What is a standard by your definition? What is a pattern? A norm? How are they defined?
i like how you call a dictionary definition simply “my” definition… if you’d like to learn more about the english language, i suggest you use a freely available dictionary website
