"Normalize" means "to make normal". When our historical relationship with another country has been one of mutual suspicion, distrust, and reprisal, why do "they" speak of improving the relationship as an attempt to normalize it? That always grates on my ears.

Awww, come on systems programmer -surely those big databases had to follow the five rules of normalization. A normalized database is one that is streamlined and improved.
Database? Phfffttt! That's an "application". I don't know nuthin' 'bout no applications.
One thing I do know as an end user, "streamlined and improved" is not normal for a database, either!
(Now excuse me while I go look up the "five rules of normalization".)
