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
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
