What gets me is an Americanism that seems to have only taken hold in the last 10 years or so - Normalcy. Apparently it's been in use since 1920 but I'm sure it's only recently become ubiquitous in the US. The word is NORMALITY my American friends. Normalcy is a horrible Frankenstien word which sounds and looks horrible written. =p

It was the term used by the people that actually isolated the substance but, as England likes to do, they colonized the term to their standards and then pretended that was the right way.

“Normalcy” was regarded as a mistake for ages and they took the piss out of people for using it, but then it gradually took over. It does sound exactly like a toddler forgetting “normality” and just making something up though.

I know someone that has started saying "normalicy" and I want to scream every time

39 yo American. This is the first time I have ever seen or heard of the word normality... And I read a decent amount of British regency literature.

So normalcy is normality for you? Fascinating! =D
