I've never said a single square of the ground is an object. I'd just have them target "the ground" and hit creatures around that area. I'd know what they meant when they tried it, and they wouldn't expect ludicrous results to happen.Then again, I don't have to deal with players who would try to say that they get to target the planet and hit everyone, or DMs that would try to treat the ground as a creature just because it's been treated as an object. I'm not always happy with every minute of my gaming time, but the things I read in this thread make me thankful I don't have to worry about the kinds of insane corner cases some folks seem terrified of.Does it matter that the English language agrees with me? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />And I'll take you back to another statement I made: it doesn't matter if the ground is an object or not. This is a valid tactic unless the GM puts on his viking hat and stomps his foot about some sort of presumed "intent of the rules." Objects, with or without the ground, are a major factor in almost every combat in a D&D campaign. The spell lets you target any of them.</blockquote>
