I agree completely with you.
However what is normal, "conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected." can change pretty quickly in this modern world of instant communications and travel.
And it isn't even universal. For instance, if you live in Israel, it is quite "normal" to expect a rocket to fly overhead, or maybe even hit your house, at any time. This is not "normal" in the USA.
In many places in the middle east is is "normal" to fear going to the corner store because someone is likely to kill you, either by mistake or on purpose. This would not be considered "normal" in the USA or even Canada.
Or Africa where it is "normal" that hundreds of children die of starvation daily; but that's not "normal" in the USA, is it?
So all you have to do is take a plane to somewhere else and what's "normal" to you changes a whole lot. I guess some on here can be forgiven if they are a bit confused by the question of what is or isn't "normal".
Oh I understand that what is normal varies from country to country, culture to culture, family to family even. But the basic definition should stay the same - at least I think so.
But yes, it's understandably confusing to some people :)
IIN I think many here don't know what the word 'Normal' means?
