Pronouncing Uranus

Uranus. If you don't know what Uranus is, Uranus is one of the 9 (if you include Pluto) planets of our Solar System, and is one of the Gas Giants of our Solar System and one of the farthest from our Sun. But we're not here to talk about Science, we're here to talk about the name of Uranus. If you are an adult or simply know a lot of words, you should think about saying Uranus. Just think about it for a couple seconds. Well if you thought about it you would pronounce Uranus as Yur-A-nus, but just think about the pronunciation of Yur-A-nus and just think about it in a second. Ok if you pronounce Uranus as Yur-A-nus you should see that if you think about in a sentence instead of Yur-A-nus it's your anus. And if you don't know what an anus is I'll tell you (DON'T GOOGLE ANUS) an anus is your butthole. And pronouncing Uranus as your anus may make you sound a bit childish saying it as an adult around other adults, especially if you're trying to teach children about the Gas Planet. There are alternatives for Uranus many Science experts pronounce Uranus as Yur-In-Us, but again think about Yur-In-Us in a sentence. If you thought like me and many other people you should get Urine Us. And if you don't what urine is (AGAIN DON'T GOOGLE URINE) urine is your pee. Let's see how Uranus got it's name as Yur-A-nus and/or Yur-In-Us. Uranus was discovered by British Astronomer William Herschel in 1781 and named it the Georgiom Sidis or the Georgian Star. Why? Because he worked for the British Crown and named it after King George III. King George III loved the name Georgiom Sidis but everyone else didn't. So many people wanted an alternative name. An alternative name was Neptune but what is now Neptune didn't yet been discovered but many people didn't agree on that name yet. Another name was Herschel after William Herschel but many people disagreed because many people thought the name Herschel was a dull ass name. Even in Great Britain many people disagreed on the King George's opinion so alternative names were the Georgian Star, the Georgiom Planet or simply Georgiom. In 1789 2 German Astronomers named it Uranium after the element Uranium. But again these 2 were German and the name got corrupted in English making it sound like your anus. But Yur-A-nus even had alternatives sometimes being pronounce as Yu-Ran-us (in a sentence Yu-Ran-us is You Ran us) or the Greek version named U-Ron-Ohs. But apologies to you all we're stuck with Yur-A-nus. U-Ron-Ohs sounds so much better. Why didn't we name Uranus U-Ron-Ohs?
