Pluto

All the news sources are making a big deal about Pluto no longer being a planet, but last time I checked a "dwarf planet" was still...a planet. Dwarf stars are still stars. ISTM they have expanded the definition of planet, just in a different way than expected.

Also, if the supposed reason Pluto isn't a planet is that it crosses Neptune's orbit...why is Neptune a planet? It crosses Pluto's orbit. Is it then implied that whichever one is larger is the planet?
