I'm having an issue with your anus.

[marguerite_26]

so....

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've always pronounced it as it is spelt because that's how I first heard it – didn't even get the joke till I watched ET. I guess it depends on how the Greeks pronounce it, he's their god after all.
