With the appropriate number of E's the dictionary thinks it's a perfectly cromulent word. Because I spelled it incorrectly.

Point of fact, or quibble if you may, "denizon" is not a real word. (dry). I love that they made one of your categories “rants.”

Point of fact, or quibble if you may, “denizon” is not a real word. (dry).

Too unironically inspiring to be a real quote. Also a legal quibble, "citizen of earth" is a misnomer without a global political institution. You can be a "denizon" or a resident, but "citizen" implies a set of legal rights and responsibilities linked to democratic participation, which you don't have at the earthly level. Besides, which political identity would take precedence: planetary or local? Perhaps he's subtly arguing that our local and global political contexts are inextricably linked now; there is no local without a global? ZOMG, my brain just imploded. Quick I need a kitten!
