How to use "As a rule" in context?
An often-used adage is "as a rule." This means that usually, what is being referred to is a norm and not always a situation. For example, if someone says, "I usually eat dessert at midnight," they are stating a norm--that is, what they typically do. However, if someone says, "I ate dessert at midnight last night," they are referring to a specific situation and not to a norm.
