the moon

geni, you're fighting a losing battle. It's perfectly acceptable to use "moon" to describe natural satellites of any planet.

Groovy so in 1000 years time people will be complaining there isn't a word for earth since the word would by then mean a type of planet.

If our moon is the Moon, why isn't our planet called the Planet?

Haha! Good one! Made me stop to think for a minute.
