if it truly were a perfect reign I wouldn't mind at all

You wouldn't care about somebody else having total control over you?

Keep in mind that idioms follow their own rules. Down to earth, what on earth, and move heaven and earth do not capitalize the planet, and four corners of the earth or salt of the earth take the definite article.

"On earth" (e.g. "richest man on earth") is one of those idioms, so the E is lowercase. See here.

on earth

used for emphasis. What on earth are you doing?; the stupidest man on earth.

It's a bit confusing, but they aren't literally referring to "the planet Earth" in an astronomical sense. If you were writing a sci-fi story and comparing the wealth of the richest man on Earth to, say, the richest man on Mars, then it would be capitalized.

Let me guess. He's "neither right nor left" because he supports welfare, but only for white people?

I voted for an anti-genocide candidate: Jill Stein.

You can't vote against somebody in the US. You can only vote for people.

A vote of "no confidence" would be great, though; the idea being that if "no confidence" won, they'd have to re-run the election with all new candidates!

It isn't even an error, though. It's just wrong. "Earth" should be lowercase. I can understand being pedantic, but pedantic and wrong is super irritating.

So, "Breaking News Susan Crawford"?

How would you write that, then?

My dictionary says it's lowercase. I've only ever seen it in lowercase, unless you're taking about it in the astronomical sense (e.g. "the planet Earth").

See the first entry here. "On earth" is an idiom, and "earth" starts with a lowercase E.

Dave's not here, man!

If everybody was jumping off a bridge, would you do that, too?

Raw red onion is amazing in sandwiches, and I've eaten chopped white onion on hot dogs, and that's pretty good, too. Just straight-uo eating an onion by itself? No.
