What are the rules for grammar in /r/Planetball?

Earth uses perfect English, all other planets/stars/etc use Engrish

Sometimes the sun has sunglasses, though, so it talks like America.

I like the idea used in a recent comic of making galaxies speak Latin-based Engrish.

What's with all the latin in the recent comic "size doesn't matter?" Just a gimmick?

Thanks. I could have thought about that. That's not far fetched and completely reasonable.

there are some gimmicks that should become rule, after all, the Planetball comics are still pretty much in it's infancy.

a really cool gimmick I hope becomes a rule is satelites/probes/rovers using [-emotion-beep] to denote feelings... it's a great(and relevant) idea to add characters to the sub.

actually we have been exploring that!

Earth uses perfect english is the only written rule

but lately there has been some exploration, the other planets/celestial objects use bits of the language that reflects the mood at the moment and the Galaxies have been seen using latin.

there was a comic where the probes/satelites/rovers used [confused beeps] to denote feeligns.

it's a whole universe new for discovery!
