In the title text Randall mentions that, even though his physics professors have continued to use the word "dynamical", "trying to normalize it" by repetitive usage, he remains convinced that it is not really a word. Presumably he doesn't like that it has two suffixes used to make words into adjectives, -ic and -al, as if "dynamic" wasn't already positive enough. The [https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Commonly-Confused-Suffixes-ic-vs-ical.htm#:~:text=Words%20ending%20in%20%E2%80%9C%2Dic%E2%80%9D,are%20notoriously%20difficult%20to%20distinguish Free Dictionary] discusses how -ic and -ical suffixes are confused in many common words and explains their different uses. | In the title text Randall mentions that, even though his physics professors have continued to use the word "dynamical", "trying to normalize it" by repetitive usage, he remains convinced that it is not really a word.
