Usage of the word"orthogonal" outside of mathematics
I thought"normal" was related to the number 1 in math. Examples would include an orthonormal basis consisting of vectors of length 1, and the gradients of 2 normal lines multiplying to equal -1. Since we usually use things of length 1,"normal" can be this way associated with"usual things". –

Difference between"normal person" and"average person"
0. An"average" person is a normal person BY DEFINITION."Normal" means"close to" average (in statistics), but plus or minus. It is this"plus or minus" part that allows"normal" to be NOT average. Even so, it would mean that the deviation from average is a"normal" or usual amount, and not"way out." Share.

But if you have to choose between the two,"ordinary people" is a better option. Using"normal person" might suggest that a"successful person" is abnormal. Using"normal person" might suggest that a"successful person" is abnormal.

What would you call a person who is obsessed with being"normal"?
But, if this were a first-person assessment of themselves, they are more likely to say Plain, Normal or Average. However, if this really is a person obsessed with the pursuit of normal, then they will probably see themselves as a Weird outsider (hence the obsession) and perhaps describe themselves that way or with the word Wannabe or Nobody

Word for when something wrong is made to seem normal because it is ...
I wonder if what you really want is the word habituate:"make or become accustomed or used to something", because it carries the connotation of making something abnormal become normal. And certainly, that is what she is doing here, making the assumption that cheating is an acceptable option because people do it all the time.

Difference in usage of"regular","usual","ordinary","normal","common"
The answer I point to say that it is not normal, but it is common. This is an interesting differentiation of the two terms. The situation is common in the meaning that similar cases occur many places, and many are in a similar situation. But it is not normal, as this is not how it should be.
