IIN I think many here don't know what the word 'Normal' means?

  • "Is it normal for you to die if i blow your head off with a shotgun? Yes, it's Normal."

    This is the right context to use the word "normal".

    • Exactly.

      See what happens if you replace the word 'normal' with 'acceptable' or 'morally right' in your sentence:

      Is it acceptable for you to die if I blow your head off with a shotgun? Yes, it's acceptable.

      Is it morally right for you to die if I blow your head off with a shotgun? Yes, it's morally right.

      Entertaining, but the entire meaning of the sentence is changed. This just proves that 'normal' and 'OK' aren't interchangeable, and people shouldn't use them as though they are since it just leads to confusion.
