Littlest is big time into the solar system and his favourite planet is Uranus.
He learned to pronounce it from a Wall-E video game which pronounces it: you're a nuss.
Which is fine by me because I am 12 and still laugh at 'They found a new ring around Uranus' jokes.
Anyway... his teacher is insisting that the pronunciation is Your anus. Which has resulted in a few arguments in his Kindergarten class because to him: how can Wall-E be wrong???
I've tried google and so far everything says both are acceptable.
I'm wondering if it's a Canadian/American difference or if just people wanting to avoid the titters at this poor planet that gets more laughs than Pluto.
You guys want to share your thoughts on your anus?
see? 12.

I can answer! (I abandoned the idea of a career in astronomy once I found out that it was unlikely to result in actually going up in space...)
