normalcy
Doesn't any one care that the word was a mistake made up by one of those illiterate presidents? I think it was one of those presidents we never remember, since the dictionary says the word came into use as a noun in 1857. He misused the word and the general public thought that if a president used it then it was correct. So the word became a part of the language of "stupid American terms", not English.
The word that should be used is "normality". We don't get back to normalcy we get back to normality.
Every time I hear the word used by the mediaI want to scream. It just perpetuates stupidity.
