Yes, but you are aware that there is such a place as the United States. And you know that in this place they have towns and cities.gnash wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 2:43 pmNever heard of the town or city called the United States.triviawayne wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 11:17 aman inhabitant of a particular town or city.
"the citizens of Los Angeles"
I didn't use the term "legal citizen"
The point is that the particular meaning of "citizen" as "an inhabitant of a town or city" is not possible in the context "citizen of the United States".opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2019 8:32 amYes, but you are aware that there is such a place as the United States.

The dataset comes from "Social Security card applications for births that occurred in the United States after 1879" (source). Being born in the United States, they are citizens subject to a few limited exceptions (e.g. parents were foreign diplomats at time of birth). Now, the dataset has 7,634 instances of babies named Unique (6,874 female, 760 male), all born since 1972. It is quite reasonable to assume that after subtracting the number of these individuals who renounced their citizenship, or never had citizenship because of the diplomat exception, or have died, we are still left with over 5,000 citizens of the United States named Unique.gnash wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 11:01 amBeing a pedant for substance rather than form, my pedantic reaction was "How would you know they are all citizens?"triviawayne wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 1:57 pmCategory: Stupid Answers

(That being said, I fully agree with Gnash that the term "citizen of the United States" should be taken as referring to an individual's legal citizenship status. It would be pretty unusual — and, I believe most copyeditors would agree, simply wrong — to use the term "citizens of the United States" to describe a group of people that includes non-citizens who are resident in the U.S. such as Green Card holders.)

Is Earth considered a heavenly body? Or are we thinking of Earth as the fixed point in reference to which "the heavens" are defined? I assume the latter, but this might be debatable. If the former, Tellurium qualifies.
Pretty sure that was named after Edwurd Tellur.
