Are we Earthlings or earthlings?

[-] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

At the moment, if you're talking about Earth as a territory, it gets capitalised as a proper noun. It's not got a universal culture that everyone from Earth participates in, so there's not a proper noun to identify that culture.

We're just Earthlings, worms are Earthlings and earthlings.
