I always liked the “Futurama” joke where scientists changed the planet’s name from Uranus to Urectum. But it was many decades ago that I heard ABC’s old science reporter Jules Bergman start to call the planet YOU-ruh-nus instead of the usual pronunciation. “Why does he do that?” my sister asked. “I suppose so you don’t confuse the planet with a part of your anatomy,” I replied.
