The last day of normalcy for me was the day before my first child was born.

9/10 however is definately up there. We went to Yankee Stadium to see Roger Clemens pitch for his possible record-breaking winning game, but it rained, so we hung out at the wet stadium until they finally called the game. It was a lot of fun. The next day, wham.

"Normalcy" isn't a word, technically.

[Sir Fredrick]

I have never been normal. Even at the age of 3 I was weird.

<< robert beat me to it >>

No that maybe. But I think everyone got the point, don't you think?

Since when is normalcy not a word? Anyways, life will eventually get back to normal.

 

[MajesticMoose]

normalcy was never a word. One of the presidents (i don't remember which one it was) used it in a speech.

What president? When?

EDIT: Warren Harding?

 

[Xomon]

Perhaps it was that dumb president George W. Bush. You know, the one who cannot for the life of him learn to speak in public.

 

[loup garou]

It was Harding. The correct word is normality. Bush also used normalcy in his speech at the World Series.

 

[MajesticMoose]

It was Warren G. Harding in 1857. He mispronounced normality. One of dubya's relatives perhaps?

OK, but you do realize that there are a lot of words in the English language that have bizarre etymologies or origins, don't you? English is not like classical Latin.

The word is in every modern English dictionary, so I don't quite understand what the problem is.

 

[TuffGirl]

<< "Normalcy" isn't a word, technically. >>


It's in the English dictionary. Like Vespasian pointed out, what does it matter how the word came into use. It's still part of the language and a valid "word."

normalcy

I never said that there was a problem, I was simply pointing out that both presidents gave speeches about a "Return to Normalcy." Sheesh.

 

[Xomon]

But it's not considered a word by the anal AT members. That means the word doesn't exist, you moron.

 

[b0mbrman]

Well I think you could say that September 11 was the *first* day of normalcy because the feelings are fears we have from that day will become the norm...

 

[wyvrn]

What is normal? Sept. 11 was a hard day but it is not the end of the world. We are rebuilding and will remain strong. I don't think, even though the event has deeply affected me, that I am going to let it change my life any more than it has to. I will be more aware of outside cultures (I do that already being married inter-racially), but other than that I am not going to give up my redneck gun-toting free voting loud mouth American rights anytime soon
