I was wondering since society is changing so much what does the word "Normal" mean too you and should it be taken out of the Webster Dictionary? My deffetion of normal is differnt from your I would think espoecailly whencomes to family and friends and relationships. I think normal as the Roman Rockwell paintings and My Christian Values and what I will not let slip by on value someone esle would.
Thanks and have a great day

i don't think the definition of normal actually exists in the real world only average i think everything is just judged based on an average but some people use the word normal instead.

Hi unique, You make a very good point, normal does not mean the same to everyone. I try not to use the word a lot because I realize that. I find too that many people use the word normal, when they really mean natural, and there is a great difference. Blessings.

Hello Pose123,
Yes, I agree with with word normal and natural. But would Webster Dictionary really take that word out because it used so much and in schools in soceity does or not do. It confuses the children when they are still forming opinions about the world and they do not questions words and there usage till like college time.
Thank you for wonderful response.
Have a great day
