   Hi, mark lewis! How are you?   
   on Thursday, 21 of June, I read your message to alexander koryagin   
   about "Earth or the Earth"   
      
    ak>> Quite often I see that people call this planet "Earth", whereas I read   
    ak>> it must be called "the Earth". Maybe there is a rule?   
      
    ml> Earth is the name... the earth is what it is...   
      
    ml> try substituting another planet in place of earth and see how it comes   
    ml> out ;)   
      
    ml> eg: Quite often I see that people call this planet "Mars", whereas I   
    ml> read it must be called "the Mars". Maybe there is a rule?   
      
      
   Well... Suppose we make an ecological ogranization. For instance:   
   http://www.foe.org/news/news-releases/2012-06-nuclear-watchdog-p   
   titions-nrc-to-require-san-onofre-relicensing   
   =========Beginning of the citation==============   
   WASHINGTON, D.C. - Friends of the Earth today filed a legal petition to   
   require the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to keep the crippled reactors   
   at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station shut down until and unless their   
   operator, Southern California Edison, obtains a license amendment.   
   =========The end of the citation================   
      
   Or NACA writes:   
   http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_earth.html#birth   
   =========Beginning of the citation==============   
   Earth's Birth   
   How was our planet born?   
      
   The Earth was born about 4 and a half billion years ago, at the same time the   
   whole solar system (the Sun, Earth, and other planets) formed. An enormous   
   cloud of gas started to get smaller and smaller as the gas particles attracted   
   each other with gravity. Most of the gas went to the center of the solar   
   system and formed the Sun, but several other pieces spinning about the Sun   
   solidified into the planets, including the Earth.   
   =========The end of the citation================   
      
   So, your rule is quite controversial.   
      
   [...In reality, women use Chanel perfume to attract men. And men's cheap   
   cologne attracts women]   
   Bye mark!
