and it's pronouced, "Urinus, not Uranus." .../s

Which now that I spell it out and look at it; isn't much better.. however, Niel DeGrass Tyson says we've all been pronouncing it wrong, but maybe we just don't wanna be right (this one time)?

But UR-in-us and ur-AY-nus are correct and accepted pronunciations. Both are listed in the dictionary. And, as you say, it sounds a bit wrong either way.

That line of dialogue in “E.T.” ruined it forever.
