    In Spanish there is a similar problem, the greek letter Theta (θ), its pronunciation means "boob", so most math teachers on high school have to pronounce it like "theeta" ("títa" in Spanish pronunciation). And there is a double problem, as the Spanish word for sine is "seno", that is exactly the same word for "breast"; so, imagine our trigonometry classes on high school when you have to calculate the breast of boob: sin(θ)

  • @davidgilbertson7750

    As an elementary science teacher with a penchant for both accuracy and propriety, I have chosen to teach the pronunciation as the Greeks would have:"Oo-ron-ohs", the way he describes it fleetingly at 3:14.
    It seems the easiest way to avoid the uncomfortable banter that follows the other ones. And it is historically accurate.

      The Greeks call the planets by their Greek mythological counterpart, not their Roman name. For example, Mars is called Ares (A - rees). Venus is called Aphrodite (A - fro - thee - tee), etc . . . Thats how I learned the planets' names growing up, and it confused me when all other countries used both Roman and Greek names.

      Caelus. Good idea. Forgot about that. I think of "Uranus" as the Latin name. While it is the Latin spelling, it was a borrowing from the Greek, Ouranos.

      +Dohn Joe I like the way people say "scientists" say Pluto isn't a planet, like anyone who wasn't a scientist ever had a stake in a planet we can only detect with scientific methods and you only know of because scientists found it, and told you it was called Pluto.
      It isn't like scientists took away your dog, they classified something and then reclassified it. You didn't even really know what Pluto looked like at the time it was reclassified, and have still probably never even seen it with your own eye, probably can't tell what it's made of, how far away it is, or even why it should be a planet.
