omiting "who"

Here is a dilemma.

a. It is I, swift prince before you speaks.
a. It is I, swift prince who before you speaks.

In A. is it wrong to omit "who"?

Or do both work in this case?
  

Top answer

Both are unnatural. What is a 'swift prince'? Assuming that it means something, then it would be, "It is I, a swift prince who speaks before/to you".

Yes, it's wrong. This sounds like Dungeons and Dragons talk. Capitalize Swift Prince. And don't use this sentence in an everyday conversation with your friends!

I was hoping maybe you could answer this one for me:

When referring to the planet within the celestial context, can you refer to planet Earth as "the Earth"?

Examples:
a. The magnetic field within our galaxy, plagues the Earth.
b. The Earth's atmosphere has been deteriorating over the years.
c. The Earth is a magnificent planet.

A. and B. sound OK to me, but

AskAndAnswercan you refer to planet Earth as "the Earth"?
I don't know. I can't help you on this one. I've seen it done both ways, and I never learned to capitalize 'earth' at all when I was going to school!
