It's pronounced your-ah-nis not your-A-nus

•

u/bi7worker 6h ago

Oh, the first sentence of the vid takes a whole new meaning now!

•

u/thethunder92 5h ago

It used to be pronounced your-EH-nus until the no fun police showed up

•

I think the old Roman pronounciation would be more like “Er-Ran-Os” wouldn’t it?

•

u/RedDiamond6 4h ago

Oooh, I like that. It doesn't really matter which way you say it though, the inner child still comes out and grins at the least 😆

Prescriptivism is a plague

•

u/RedDiamond6 5h ago

Wtf is prescriptivism? Activists for prescriptions?

Anyways, thanks. I really laughed too when I posted it.

Prescriptivism is PRESCRIBING how language SHOULD BE used. There is no such thing as wrong use of language. All languages and how they are communicated are equal and beautiful.

Descriptivism DESCRIBES how language IS used

Hope that makes sense

u/RedDiamond6 4h ago

It does. Thank you. 🤦🏼‍♀️😄

Listen, if you don't say the word correctly, the spell wont work, okay? It's important.

I'm not sure we have the same sense of humor and that's okay. No prescriptivism in humor either.

Sounds like someone hasn’t had Uranus visited in a while!

Why does the wand holding look so suggestive now?

•

u/RedDiamond6 5h ago

Cause you're looking at it that way?

•

u/ragnarok635 3h ago

No I do believe it’s because of your joke
