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)

Uranus is the Latin spelling (like how all the other planets are named after Roman equivalents of Greek gods), and the Latin pronunciation was likely somewhere in between the Greek and the modern English. Maybe something like oo-RA-noos
My Latin teacher used to crack “Always put the em-PHA-sis on the right syl-LA-ble,” to remind us that Latin usually puts the stress on the next to last syllable, but Greek usually puts it two before the last. (Emphasis and syllable both being words derived from Greek.)
When I was in middle school the teacher has inflatable versions of the planet set up as the solar system. We kept getting in trouble for slapping Uranus. There was also plenty of Uranus jokes to go around believe me

Thanks thanks finally someone out there who notices that Uranus besides Earth is the only planet named from Greek mythology despite that LIKE EVERY OTHER PLANET is named from ROMAN gods. Uranus IS an unusual name (4:06) and I also want it to be named Caelus. We need a reform.
I think I pronounced it differently before someone in my year 5 class told me. I was wondering for about 5 to 10 minutes why everyone was laughing, now I wish I had kept my pronunciation of it.
Well they translated anus to ano, urANO, we call that espanglish here, but yeah the dude/dudes that did that job were really lazy and probably did it because of the pronunciation. And the pronunciation given by google in CornerrecordZ's link is similar, like really just ignore the "s".
OmuBunta Uranus is called Urano in Spanish because it is the translation of the name of god Uranus from Roman Mythology. Like Neptuno to Neptune, Saturno to Saturn or Mercurio to Mercury. And "ur" in Spanish (that is pronounced /ur/ not /iur/) doesn't have any meaning. (Nota: El mensaje lo pongo a tu nombre proque va como respuesta al tuyo aunque supongo que la amyoría ya deberías saberlo. El objetivo es informar a aquellos cuya lengua madre no es el castellano)
As a child I remember our teacher asking for a thousand word essay. I thought, omg how am I going to write a whole thousand words? So I started with a very long title: "The Clinging Klingons Cling On To Their Klingon Ship". Only 991 words to go!
I'm french and this never came to my mind so I guess this problem might be for English speakers only so don't change anything. We won't change something only for a reason like that and if we have to do that for all languages it may convey many changes.
I had a science teacher in 8th grade that was teaching me and the class about uranus and a lot of jokes kept going around. She wanted to calm the class down until she realized after she just said "hold on to Uranus" lol
If I'm a teacher I'd keep making it worse and worse to saturate it. Something wrong with Uranus? What's the matter Jake? Why are you laughing at Uranus? If you have a problem with Uranus, we can talk about it after class. Please keep your voices down as we take a look at some features of Uranus.

The Greek pronunciation is the best in my opinion, it's the one I use and it sounds the coolest too.
Hey what's your favourite planet?
"George"
That reminds me of a funny meme
George Washing machine.

I was looking for this comment.
Hey girl *URANUS* is lookin good
Girl : Ah yes its the best planet painting I know
**I will go in URANUS**
Hey girl, urANUS be lookin' kindaa THICC
DangerLord HAHA
Can i go into uranus?
How can my anus be thicc?
My Latin teacher used to crack “Always put the em-PHA-sis on the right syl-LA-ble,” to remind us that Latin usually puts the stress on the next to last syllable, but Greek usually puts it two before the last. (Emphasis and syllable both being words derived from Greek.)
Well I don't mind how you guys pronounce my name but this is once hell of a meme
Uranus Planet hi out there! How's Neptune?
How’s your dark spot
Ok ur anus
Ps your picture is flipped 90 degrees :|
I find soms Dark stuff in Uranus
When I was in middle school the teacher has inflatable versions of the planet set up as the solar system.
We kept getting in trouble for slapping Uranus. There was also plenty of Uranus jokes to go around believe me
lol
I would love to slap Uranus
I bet one of the uttered: "Uranus is Thicc!"

Never thought about it. I am Russian and in my language Uranus sounds like (oo-ran) Уран. Funny how it sounds in english. I can't stop laughing my humor is really low.
Тоже самое... ("Same")
Vilhelm Lied In Italian it’s pretty similar (oo-ran-o) and we never had any real problem with it. I love the English language but... tsk English speakers and their problems 💁♂️

Same in Polish, Uran. Slavic languages seem to like dropping the -us ending in Latin words and -os in Greek ones.
Breaking news: an asteroid named uruncle is expected to penetrate Uranus.
Deep Space Navigator & Uranus Thermo Surveyor or DeeSNUTS is about to touch down Uranus
OH NO STOP UNCLE CHAD-
R/cursedcomment
wtf
but uraunt, a smaller asteroid is supposed to collide with uruncle soon enough, so the penetration of uranus is not likely
Dad : “there’s Uranus”
Child : “No.”

Since the other planets are named after the Roman gods, why not call it Caelus , it is the Roman counterpart to Uranus .
Me, a russian: *laughs in oo-RAN*
Урррааааааааааа!
Me, a portuguese: *laughs in oo-RAN-oo*
Laughs in Dutch with my u's.
A sound that doesn't exist in English.

I for one am thoroughly sick of Uranus being the butt of all these jokes.

Me too.
Ah, the irony in this one is a delicious meal, thanks!
Brilliant! Ba dum tss

I see we went down the Vsauce path of "accidentally teach you 30 million things you didn't know you cared about or would be in the video"
***** Title:5 Second rule is not true. He says that you can't pick it up fast enough then he takes a different route
***** Yeah, it's worse now. They do this all the time, but recently they made a video called "would headlights work at lightspeed?" and then completely snubbed the question and went on to talk about other shit.
realevilcorgi omg i was confused when it started
realevilcorgi I don't know, I found it very interesting and honestly Micheal did give a great load of information about that subject.
***** I think that's what draws people to Vsauce videos. The fact that he can relate many things to one topic. The different discussions are not completely far off from the topic, they all relate to each other in some way. Of course there are people who do not like this format and rather one topic one discussion. It's definitely easier to follow. Vsauce is not for everyone :/
The name bothers me only because of the inconsistency of it being the only planet named from Greek mythology rather than its Roman equivalent: Caelus
Yeah. But Ouranos sounds way better.
Richie Godsil Yeah... Greek Mythology is still better.
Lotus Bayleef
Greek and Roman mythology is almost the same
Gunja Fury Eh not in the beginning. They were definitely distinct religions, but then Rome conquered Greece and then so much syncretism happened to the point where they were practically the same
Thanks thanks finally someone out there who notices that Uranus besides Earth is the only planet named from Greek mythology despite that LIKE EVERY OTHER PLANET is named from ROMAN gods.
Uranus IS an unusual name (4:06) and I also want it to be named Caelus.
We need a reform.
3:39 I think I have been on that path IRL it looks so familiar
I never understood why people laughed at “Ur-anus” until I studied human bodies and- you know
same bro
Yea same i was confused as a kid
I think I pronounced it differently before someone in my year 5 class told me. I was wondering for about 5 to 10 minutes why everyone was laughing, now I wish I had kept my pronunciation of it.
thats because uruguay
yeah i still laughed though i didn’t find it funny thus i just got made fun of 😀🤚
I like the oo-RAN-us pronunciation.
here is the correct way translate.google.gr/#el/en/%CE%9F%CF%85%CF%81%CE%B1%CE%BD%CF%8C%CF%82 and yes it's Greek.
It's the only one that makes sense.
Still weird in Spanish, anus = anos.
Well they translated anus to ano, urANO, we call that espanglish here, but yeah the dude/dudes that did that job were really lazy and probably did it because of the pronunciation. And the pronunciation given by google in CornerrecordZ's link is similar, like really just ignore the "s".
OmuBunta Uranus is called Urano in Spanish because it is the translation of the name of god Uranus from Roman Mythology. Like Neptuno to Neptune, Saturno to Saturn or Mercurio to Mercury. And "ur" in Spanish (that is pronounced /ur/ not /iur/) doesn't have any meaning.

"Uranus, don't you know my ass is famous?"
-Lady Gaga, 2013.
According to Futurama, it was renamed in the 2600's to solve the problem. The name they went for was 'Urectum'.
Wasn't it named : "let's never make that stupid joke ever again?"
Is it pronounced u-rectum or ur-rectum?
It’s obviously “You’re In us”.
What does the Starship Enterprise and a roll of toilet paper have in common?
They both circle Uranus looking for Klingons.
As a child I remember our teacher asking for a thousand word essay. I thought, omg how am I going to write a whole thousand words? So I started with a very long title: "The Clinging Klingons Cling On To Their Klingon Ship". Only 991 words to go!

I'm french and this never came to my mind so I guess this problem might be for English speakers only so don't change anything. We won't change something only for a reason like that and if we have to do that for all languages it may convey many changes.

I had a science teacher in 8th grade that was teaching me and the class about uranus and a lot of jokes kept going around. She wanted to calm the class down until she realized after she just said "hold on to Uranus" lol
If I'm a teacher I'd keep making it worse and worse to saturate it.
Something wrong with Uranus?
What's the matter Jake? Why are you laughing at Uranus?
If you have a problem with Uranus, we can talk about it after class.
