Your English Teacher Was Wrong: Capitalize "Earth"

Earth is a place. One among many. We need to start thinking that way.

I'll admit, it's been a while since my last English class; but like most of you, I was taught that you should never capitalize the word "Earth" (or for that matter, "Moon" or "Sun"). I know for a fact that my teachers were pretty good, because I knocked the ACT English and the SAT verbal out of the park.*

They were, however, wrong about this.
