Talk:Earthling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I prefer the term "earthite" to 'earthling'. "Earthling" is outdated and doesn't sound cool. However, "earthite" does.

Well, "Earthling" is the well established term. Voortle 15:36, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

"Earther is also seen as offensive."

Earther is seen as "offensive"?! Who the hell by!? Who is the offender (alleged or otherwise)?! Is this encyclopedia material, or is it an excerpt from a science-fiction pulp novel? Asteriks 09:08, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

There is of course, nothing offensive about "Earther". Earther is rarely used outside of science fiction stories, and then not even very often. It's not uncommon for Earther to be used within a sci-fi story as a derrogative term for a person from Earth.--RLent (talk) 18:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I think these kind of things also fit in encylopedia since you cant find it anywhere else and wikipedia is a big info base.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.84.77.80 (talk) 03:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
