Uranus ping list. It's pronounced: OOOOO-ruh-nus, accent on the first syllable, which rhymes with "Glue." (If you want on or off this list, don't tell me; I'll know.)

None of these infants have a clue about astronomy. They have never seen the night sky for themselves and never will--thanks to light pollution.

The HyperDictionary lists the pronunciation of "Uranus" as follows:

"yer'ahnahs; yuw'rahnahs"

Which, to me looks very much like Klingonese...food for thought.
