Well "normalcy" has become accepted, 90 years after Warren Harding - while still a Senator - was ridiculed for using it instead of "normality." Most US dictionaries now consid

I'd much rather see and hear "normality." There are many other grammatical errors which disturb me more, though. An increasingly common one is using "'s" erroneously, as for a plural. That's never OK. It's either a contraction for "it is," as here, or a possessive, as in " This must be my dog's collar." ( Full Answer )
