We all grew up pronouncing Uranus one way, only to have science nerds go all proper on us and start pronouncing it the non-anus way... so which way is the best way?

Merri am-Webster pronunciation (audio) = just for fun

I'll take Merriam-Webster over the proper science geeks any day.

I am a science geek for the most part and Yer-uh-nus.just sounds dumb....plus it was the only way you could get teachers to say anus...till they caught on!
