Not being familiar with the field, why would it be tremendously helpful to refer to it as a tremor instead of earthquake?
Tremendously helpful to the people who felt it? Or to geologists?

Pretty common, but small and rarely noticed [0]. Probably lots of construction and geotechnical engineering wouldn't have survived anything significant at least in the Northeast

#29I felt it in Mass -- I was working on the second floor. My wife was on the ground floor and didn't feel it. From our internal slack channel, this seems fairly common -- people on the ground floor don't feel it here in MA, but higher floors, they do feel it.
Felt it in Hartford, CT!

Also in MA on the second floor. Two of my roommates were standing and didn't notice it, but I definitely felt it sitting down
