1.See corresponding entry in Unabridged unsymmetrical, uneven.
2.See corresponding entry in Unabridged unmethodical, unsystematic; disorderly, capricious, erratic, eccentric, lawless.
4.See corresponding entry in Unabridged anomalous, unusual. Irregular, abnormal, exceptional imply a deviation from the regular, the normal, the ordinary, or the usual. Irregular, not according to rule, refers to any deviation, as in form, arrangement, action, and the like; it may imply such deviation as a mere fact, or as regrettable, or even censurable. Abnormal means a deviation from the common rule, often implying that this results in an aberrant or regrettably strange form or nature of a thing:abnormal lack of emotion; A two-headed calf is abnormal.Exceptional means out of the ordinary or unusual; it may refer merely to the rarity of occurrence, or to the superiority of quality:an exceptional case; an exceptional mind.Because of the stigma of abnormal, exceptional is today frequently substituted for it in contexts where such a euphemism may be thought to be appropriate:a school for exceptional children(children who are abnormal in behavior, mental capacity, or the like).
