    The real problem here is the nostalgia factor. A lot of people grew up having the planets ingrained into their brains with various mnemonics. Hard to say goodbye to “pizza”.

        Yes, but your language is even weirder than English.

        At least English doesn’t have any words like rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz.

          No, we have “thin blue line” and somehow a long running controversy about which lives matter and which lives still matter but we shouldn’t say it because it implies you think the others don’t matter because of the thin blue lines. Humans are fucking weird, no matter the language.
