They fixed it in Futurama.l to avoid those childish jokes.
They renamed it Urectum.
you- Rahn - oos
You don't even need to change the spelling, just pronounce it a way that better resembles the underlying Greek. Problem is, no English-speaker needs to think about pronunciation for the other planets because the latin is just pronounced phonetically.
It's weird that it's the one Greek-named planet. If we're changing things up, it should just be Caelus to match the others.
oo rah noos
"U" is not pronounced like "you" at all. "Noos" is also pretty off.
Wow, I wonder if this will impact Uranus in any way?
Said Carlsen to Niemann.
Leave me alone. I've been trying to pass it for like a week.
Probably just some cloaked Klingons
