At some point....the company Unilever decided that they'd use the word 'normal' in describing their hair/soap products. So for years (maybe even decades)....'normal' would appear in various descriptions.
It's been decided in recent weeks....that the term 'normal' can't be used anymore....in order that they project being more 'inclusive' (meaning, just about everything.....normal, not-normal, radical, not-radical, etc).
I sat and pondered over this. 'Normal' to me....was just a description word to explain what ought to occur in 75-percent of cases.
Cows act in a 'normal' way....where you can predict via ten situations what a cow will do or behave as....in most cases.
You can buy a particular car, and predict that in a normal five-year period, this is the normal set of issues/problems you should face.
You can walk into a Wal-Mart, and generally predict where products will be in a 'normal' way....based on a plan exercised by the management.
You can step into a beauty shop and ask for a 'normal' cut, and have a pretty good idea of what will happen.
So messing around with 'normal'....just doesn't seem to make sense. This 'inclusive' idea? Pretty odd path to change, if you ask me.
