  • Vox had a video where they described a Norman door, it's a door that doesn't work the way you expect it to. Perhaps it has a pull handle on each side of the door, yet one side should be 'push', or a pushbar where you should pull, or doors that don't follow the same pattern as other doors in the house.


    Of course, they interviewed a designer named Norman who named the Norman door after himself.

  • alexz: I've noticed the same thing. I type in the search box a capitalized word followed by a lower case word ( (ie. Norman door) and Wordnik immediately redirects me to a new page with both words in lower case. It doesn't seem to redirect when both words are capitalized after being typed into search. Example: Old Baldy.

  • Should fix this flaw, a hacker might capitalize on it.

  • They've fixed the Capitalized Word comment thing, as I was able to leave a comment on Norman door

    I think the lowercase redirect was to connect new users with a quick link to a word that had a definition which was lowercase instead of uppercase ie Monkey versus monkey
