Having a speech impediment wouldn't prevent you from typing with good English. Stupidity might do that, but a speech impediment would not. The only other possibility that I can think of is that maybe you were born in a non-English speaking country and haven't gained much English vocabulary yet. But if that's so, then why are you so comfortable with English-based netsy jargon like "r" for "are" and "u" instead of "you"?
In regard to Pluto being classed as something other than a planet, I really don't care. Whatever Pluto was, that's what it remains. The only thing that has changed is what scientists are calling it, and I'm not a believer in "word magic" (the idea that labels alter reality).
It's not like some astronauts went out there and painted it a different color, you know.

pluto is not a planet because pluto orbits the sun, is round, does not have an isolated orbit (a bunch of other similar bodies have similar orbits.), and is not a satellite it is defined as a dwarf planet. this does not change anything about the solar system or pluto. it just corrects the mistake of classifying pluto as a planet initially.
i have been waiting for this since i was about twelve. i feel somewhat satisfied. i knew that pluto didn't fit the pattern set by the major bodies in the solar system so it was an anomaly. it just felt illogical and "out of place". this was the right thing to do, believe me. i don't understand why so many are having such a problem with this.
i don't know how long this will drag on tho. many planetary scientists are not satisfied that the definition is not rigorous enough.

For pity's sake if you want to be taken seriously, then try to write seriously using proper English. There is a reason you take the class in school, you know.
As for Pluto, I am not concerned in the slightest. I am not too keen on the new definition of what constitutes a planet, but the reclassification of Pluto is nothing but a minor annoyance.
If your life is so simplistic that you become upset over such a little thing (pardon the pun), then you must be really out of touch with reality.

No-one. Pluto was obviously not a real planet in the first place: I mean, 4 of the solar system's moons are larger than Pluto. Even it's own moon is almost larger. Why are you 'mad and upset'? What difference does it really make? The categorisation of the universe in planets and so forth is fairly arbitrary anyway.

I think some of the arguements against Pluto are silly. Sooner or later we are going to come along to a planet with moon(s) larger than Earth. Not to mention they are talking about upgrading Ceres, an astroid in the Astroid Belt, to a planet. They downgraded Pluto because they thought it was a comet in th Kuiper Belt. It comes down to a different arguement from the same circumstance.

I'm not but my old astrophysics teacher is. I guess she thinks the new definition of a planet is shitty, and it is. But since Pluto also qualifies as a comet I don't see how it could ever be considered a planet again.

It is absolutely astonishing that people who know next to nothing about astronomy are getting upset over Pluto not being classified as a planet any more.
grow up for goodness sake.

I know who ISN"T upset anymore...Mickey Mouse...No, seriously, I think scientists and astromoners don't know half the time what they are talking about...as far as I am concerned...Pluto IS a planet...it was how I was raised so I believe. If you want Pluto to be a planet then, so be it...we might be the only ones to believe in Pluto but WHO CARES.......and your speech problem is only a problem to those who can't think right....you're alright by me:-)

I don't really care....Pluto being a planet or not has no affect on my life at all. But I did hear they were going to admit another planet like object into our solar system but I still don't care all that much.
