[OT] "normal" (as in "Guassian")
...hey chose the name "normal": what did they
intend to convey?
As background: I'm reflecting a bit on the usage in
statistics of "everyday language" as techincal terms,
as in "significantly different". This, for instance,
is likely to be misunderstood by the general publidc

Likewise, "normally distributed" would probably be
interpreted as "distributed in the way one would
normally expect" or, perhaps, "there was nothing
unusual about the distribution."
Comments welcome!
With thanks,
Ted.
