Thanks randita. An “extra, extra” ping to the APoD list members.

Thanks randita. Years ago, someone on FR argued that u-RAY-nus really was pronounced YER-enes, which even a casual student of Greek can tell is completely dead wrong. YER-enes is the way Sagan chose to pronounce it, and while he probably didn't originate it (since he didn't originate anything with the possible exception of greenhouse warming as a political axe), he definitely chose wrong. And that should not come as any surprise.
