You posted the exact same message twice with a 21 min time gap.

That could make for a cool new theory. Obadiah is a automated robot.

You are just now figuring that out?

It's just this terrible software system. I tried to post and it takes forever to do what every other web site does in a microsecond, so I go off to do something else while waiting. I came back and it still hadn't posted, so I hit post again. Go figure. Sadly it doesn't look like they have any real plans to fix this since it's been going on for a long time with no improvement. Makes me wonder how many people we loose because the site is unusable.

Looked this up a while ago for information for an idea. But I googled what were the most used languages world wide, and then I looked up in google translate that language's word for Earth.

I don't know how accurate this is, because earth, dirt, and ground could be mixed up with eachother, and interchangeable in some contexts in English. Who knows what it comes out with in a translation of a different language. Either way here ya go.

Top spoken languages in the world.

1) Chinese; Word for Earth: Dìqiú
2) Spanish; Word for Earth: Tiarre
3). English; Earth is Earth
4) Hindi; Word for Earth: path we
5) Arabic; Word for Earth: 'are
6) Portuguese; Word for Earth: Terra
7) Bengali; Word for Earth: prthibī
8) Russian; Word for Earth: Zemlya
9) Japanese; Word for Earth: Chikyū
10) Javanese; Word for Earth: bumi

Spanish is tierra
The other word is Mundial. It's akin to our use of world,the Greek kosmos

And with all of that, none of you have been able to disprove that it was ME, yours truly, who named it Earth.
