Hello, Da~Mike

I noticed your recent change of "normalcy" to "normality" and wondered if there was any particular reason for it. I dug around a bit to see if I could find a difference in definition that might clear things up, but from what I found, they are pretty much identical in American usage (though in British usage "normality" would be preferred).

Hi BlckKnght.

To be quite honest, the only reason I have to justify the change for substituting the word normalcy with normality is simply because it "sounds right". Although they are synonomous, in my opinion, the whole sentence seemed to read better by using the word normality instead.

So really, it was more of a preference in style or writing as opposed to the word being unsuitable.

I have assumed that the word "normality" is more recognisable than the word "normalcy" (since I scarcely ever hear that word being used). However, if the majority of the editors are in preference of the using the orginal word of normalcy, then by all means, please revert the change.

Cheers for letting me know.

• Note to self*:

Volume 1 Chapter 7 requires some consistency checks (i.e. Sealed Dimensions -> Sealed Realities). I'll leave that to the other editors to rectify so unless no one notices, I'll edit it.
