Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Here’s wiktionary:
So it’s a regional thing.
Although the claim that in US English the “normality” form is more common does not match my experience as a speaker of US English.
I believe Normalcy was pioneered as a word in a presidential speech by Warren Harding in 1920. The titular "Return to Normalcy". Before that, it was only normality. Since then normalcy has overtaken normality to become the more common word to use.
Thanks for sharing that, I stand partly corrected, too.
