Usage: Regular and ordinary are popular terms of well-known
signification; normal has now a more specific sense,
arising out of its use in science. A thing is normal,

those principles of its constitution which mark its
species or to the standard of a healthy and natural
condition. It is
abnormal when it departs from those
principles.
