You are not. “normally” is (used here as) a “weasel word”, and the argument
is fundamentally flawed. What is “normally” – who defines what that is (not
what it means)? At which percentage does “normally” start? You can see
that this cannot lead to a sound argument. Which is why I intentionally
double-quoted the word.

JFTR: Mr. Welzel, too, is a native speaker of *German* only. For more
professional (and native-speakers-of-English's) interpretation and
translation, for example go to
