Nationality of people who live on planets - Guest - 04-26-2009
Sorry if the title seems unclear, but I'd like to have some of this cleared out.
How do you call the people that lives on a certain planet? As an example, are people that lives on Crete called ''Cretins''? People that lives on Toledo, ''Toledians''?

I would probably use the term Toledan if I were actually going to use the term.
But... an order pilot is an order pilot regardless of where they were born or raised, or where they currently live. Most citizens in Sirius probably use house terms for nativity rather than planetary terms... i.e. Bretonian, Libertonian, Kusari, Rheinlander.

I think Cretan would be better.
But, you know, Herlock. To our french ears, it really sounds like cretins, huh? xD

Look it up. They're named after real places.
The adjective relating to Crete is 'Cretan'.

Yeah, they are named the same as the real city names, that is not too hard to find out. Use the google when you feel you are in trouble.
