So you might classify the big 4; the little 4 and the dwarfs; and pretty soon you have all kinds of classifications to worry about. Sure the differences are there; but if you want to get picky each and every planet is different; so you could have all kind of different objects to classify! Why not just say planets; and if you talk about a particular one you can tell about it's properties!
You're in an argumentative mood today! I see your point; but you aren't seeing my point. When Pluto was called a planet; it was a planet! Then people started finding other planets in the outer Solar system and all of a sudden Pluto got degraded! All because of one man's whim! I cry; No fair! You cry Yaa! Well I'd rather go with "small" planet or little planet! To me dwarf is so degrading! I take no offence with your beliefs though as you are welcome to them! Oh; by the way; if you classify fruits; than apples would be Jonathan; Red Delicious; Yellow Delicious; Pink Lady; Granny Smiths; etc.; etc. 
Now I hope we can be friends with our different beliefs! 
Geckzilla; you got a crow eating smiley!
