Did you mean: earth 

Simply because "earth" has far more hits than "earther." It does not invalidate it as a word.

Its the English language.  It does not have to be confined to grammar.  So Earther can be a word if you define it to be.

Just because a term is not included in a dictionary, doesn't make it a word.  People used the word rollerblade before it was ever listed in a dictionary.  Plus, you can coin your own words.  Richard Dawkins coined the word meme and William Shakespeare coined the word assassination, accused, mimic, bedroom... among others http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_invented_by_Shakespeare, and yet these words are now included in any English dictionary.

I guess we can add "how languages evolve" to the loooooong list of things Round Earthers are ignorant about.

I think this forum has used earther frequently enough for it to become part of the English language albeit unofficially.

If you've ever played an MMORPG, they've made up enough of their own words, such as lawl.

The keyword is unofficially.

So, Round Earther, does the "language police" decide what is a new word and what isn't? Or gee, could language change because of NEW WORDS WE USE?

Do you people ever stop and think about ANYTHING?

Round Earthers are developmentally retarded. It's the only possibility I see that can explain this level of idiocy.

I'm a Flat Earther, I just informed you of my stance change.

Also, your grammar isn't perfect, you've made plenty of mistakes already.

So, Round Earther, does the "language police" decide what is a new word and what isn't?

No, there is no authoritive "language police."

Or gee, could language change because of NEW WORDS WE USE?

Yes, they can.  I just shown you examples (i.e. Shakespeare and Dawkins).

Do you people ever stop and think about ANYTHING?

Obviously I thought well enough to construe these sentences.  As I shown before we can coin our own words.  Since we can define these terms to mean something, they are, in essence, words.

Words are like names..."by any other word would smell as sweet." -Shakespeare (this ones for you geordi )

Some people prefer their cucumbers pickled.

I prefer my pickles cucumbered.  Rats, cucumbered is not a word.  Quickly, help me forge my new coinage into our society.

Define pickled and use it frequently, and thus you have coined it...so saith Lord Xenu!

Yes, I should be off to bed. Arguing with Tom wears oneself out. Good night, Dann.
