Actually we have 8, 3 dwarf planets (at the moment, I daresay this number will grow as they decide which of the two non 'planet' categories everything else falls into) and a number of smaller non planetery bodies, there are THREE categories for planetery bodies, not two. Personally I use the term planet in liew of the mouthfull 'Planetery Bodies' and if I want to specifically refer to the textbook definition of planet I'll call em something like 'true planets' or 'major planets'.
