Let's put a subject here, Was: (no subject)

The obvious problem with the new classification is that dwarf planets are supposed to be no planets. Otherwise, well, it looks fine to me. Except that Charon is supposed to be intertwined with Pluto, isn't it?

I see the bare beginnings of a paradigm shift.

Yeah, innit [she said, in her chavish voice]?

I also think the media had prepared for 11 or 12 planet (with the twin system Pluto/Charon counting as two) instead of 8 planets plus three dwarf planets.

And thinking about it, I do recite them in two chunks; in German, like most of this reciting-by-heart stuff: Merkur, Venus, Erde, Mars. PAUSE. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptun, Pluto. DEEP BREATH. It's easy to insert Ceres into the first break and append Eris after Pluto.
