It's still a planet through my eyes =)
I don't think size should matter.

Yo js!
Asteroids orbit a star and almost all of them rotate.
Comets orbit a star and they rotate.
NOW how many planets do we have, according to your highly knowledgeable and well considered "definition"?
Oh, and BTW, Mercury orbits a star, and its rotation is once per mercurian year, exactly as our moon orbits the earth with a rotation rate of exactly once per revolution. IOW, they are both "tidally locked" to their hosts. Is their motion true rotation?
And one last thing: "they" didn't redefine "planet" just for publicity. The redefinition was done to facilitate communication among scientists.
I guess its a real pity that they didn't check with you and the other posters here to see if your casual and traditional beliefs should be considered.

they just want publicity. There's nothing wrong with the classic definition of a planet.
planet: orbits a star and rotates.

Actually it never was a planet; it's more like a moon of the sun.

You're right, it is a planet. I went to school for a reason.
