And I’m not kidding when I say I literally read half of this comic then got distracted and went to do 10 other things in my phone and an hour later I came back and realized I hadn’t finished reading this comic yet. Continued reading and the plot kept changing.
yeah, way beyond logical. like it’s literally Thanksgiving Day and they are already gathered and they’re still debating on whether or not they’re going to participate in the gathering 🤦♀️
Yossarian had everything he wanted in the hospital. The food wasn’t too bad, and his meals were brought to him in bed. There were extra rations of fresh meat, and during the hot part of the afternoon he and the others were served chilled fruit juice or chilled chocolate milk. Apart from the doctors and the nurses, no one ever disturbed him. For a little while in the morning he had to censor letters, but he was free after that to spend the rest of each day lying around idly with a clear conscience. He was comfortable in the hospital, and it was easy to stay on because he always ran a temperature of 101. He was even more comfortable than Dunbar, who had to keep falling down on his face in order to get his meals brought to him in bed.
Although sometimes used, normalcy is less common than normality in American English. It is very rarely used in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is frequent in India and Zimbabwe however.
So it’s a regional thing.
Although the claim that in US English the “normality” form is more common does not match my experience as a speaker of US English.
I believe Normalcy was pioneered as a word in a presidential speech by Warren Harding in 1920. The titular "Return to Normalcy". Before that, it was only normality. Since then normalcy has overtaken normality to become the more common word to use.
the problem will get so bad that I will feel the terror of catastrophic failure if I don’t deal with it, at which point my fight or flight instincts will kick in and I will have the motivation to actually deal with it.
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
