I don't know where or when you went to school, but I was taught that "earth" refers to dirt (or electrical ground) and "Earth" is the proper name for our planet.

By the way, my last response was not meant to be sarcastic, so please don't take it that way. I suspect that the capitalization of this word has changed over time, and what was taught when I went through school may not be current standard usage.

Actually, I got a new Webster's since then and it still says the same. Nothing has changed, except a lot of people seem to be questioning authority these days.

Question Authority!

Saw this today on the back of a Datsun stationwagon; sticker looked new, in better shape than the rest of the car.
