If the forum was described as being (among other things) "a place to discuss ideas on the uncommon" I don't think that is specific in conveying what is meant. The kind of things that paranormal includes is widely understood, it is the correct term afterall. In any case, if a day was marked by an uncommon event then it wouldn't be a normal day, hence it could be described as an abnormal day. I see no problem with the term paranormal myself, many people don't have a personal paranormal experience or those who do probably couldn't say it was a common occurance, so if you argue that paranormal events are normal in the sense they are natural I wouldn't argue with you, but I don't think they can be considered normal as in being everyday occurances in a person's life. This wouldn't be a bad thread to start there, Errol.
