Wow, another politics post!  Actually, this is hardly related to politics.  Don't worry. 

Warren G. Harding ran for president in 1920 with the slogan, "A Return to Normalcy", which suggested returning to a normal state of affairs after World War I.  The word "normalcy" was met with criticism from a bunch of people because they thought he meant to use the word "normality", but used a made-up word instead (later referred to as a "Bushism").  My history teacher in high school, the infamous Lou Palazzi, referred to Harding as an idiot who made up a word and brought it into widespread use by putting it in his presidential slogan.  I've believed this lie for the past 8 years.  Whenever people use the word "normalcy" in a sentence, I'm tempted to (and sometimes actually do) point out their use of a made-up word. 

It was later found that "normalcy" was used as far back as 1857, but it had simply fallen out of use. 

Lesson learned:  Never trust a teacher.  Propagandists! #education
