What I mean by "regular" is you can go to any school or place and find it happening.

Bullying is regular in America. It happens in every school.

Police brutality/abuse is regular in America. It happens in every city with a large enough police force.

Pharmaceutical addiction is regular in America. It happens in every town.

Okay, so you've redefined regular, and are now surprised the person you're responding to doesn't share your unique definition.

It sounds like instead of just mistakenly using it as a synonym for frequent, you're mistakenly using it to mean something like prevalent or widespread or pervasive.

Either way you're responding to a perfectly valid claim by re-purposing the words used by the parent post and then arguing against that.
