Oh, thank you kindly stranger! I don’t know what I was thinking…
To be fair, proper anal can be as much a science as it is a fine art. 😁
You spelled fine fart wrong. 😂👍

Uranus is such a stupid name. The proper name for the world is Caelus. All the other planets use the Roman names of the gods. But for some reason, we decided to go with the Greek name in the one case that would obviously cause problems. The only reason “Uranus” and “anus” sound similar is that they have different roots. “Anus” comes from the Latin, while Uranus is Greek. The ancient Greeks didn’t have this problem, as they only had the word for the deity. The Romans didn’t have this problem, as they named their god Caelus. But for some asinine reason, we insist on calling the Seventh Planet Uranus instead of its proper Caelus.
We should rename it. I don’t care if scientists at the time of its discovery preferred Uranus. We’re allowed to move to more sensible names. We shouldn’t be stuck with this forever. In fact, Herschel, the original discoverer, wanted to name it George. Bode came up with the name Uranus, apparently unaware of the Latin/Greek mismatch.
It’s high time we give the Seventh World in our star system the proper respect it is due. The seventh planet is Caelus, not this ridiculous Uranus. We can do better.
Caelus does sound like a cooler name, but I’m going to be honest with you. I’m going to forget this name by tomorrow.
what a…cheeky… use of …asinine…
If you think all the scientists around the world giggling about all the puns are gonna destroy that ever bountiful source of joy, you got another one coming.
No. We need this right now.
Don’t worry. Scientists will fix this once and for all in 2620.
caelus rhymes with sigh-lus
Isn’t it supposed to be pronounced “YOUR-uh-nuss”? I get that people will prefer the childish pronunciation, but the one I listed is preferred by scientists, so it’s not an issue there.
Or “oo-ran-oose”
“urine-iss”
I solve this problem the other way by using the Greek names for the planets, Apollo, Aphrodite, Gaea, Ares, Zeus, Chronus, Uranus (of course), Poseidon and Hades.
I don’t care if scientists at the time of its discovery preferred Uranus.
It’s pronounced you-RON-us. Also, which Roman god is Earth named after?
It’s not. It’s just named after dirt.
I know, that was my point. The comment I was replying to said “all the other planets are named after Roman gods”.
Ah. Yes, they meant all the other discovered planets are.
How is Earth not a discovered planet? Discovering it was one of the first things I did after being born.
Because it was “discovered” long before we even knew what a planet was.
Oh come on
I reject your foundational assertion that this is a problem.
