now what about U-ran-us?
Some time back I was giving a talk during a school night - telescopes outside, slide projector inside, and I went through the pictures of all the planets.
After I came to U-ran-us a little girl of 10 or so asked me to repeat the name. After I did she asked me to repeat it again.
Being a crusty old curmudgeon I am not familiar with what scatological content may exist in a mind so young, but I think when the IAU was dealing with defining what a planet is, they could have done a re-name job on U-ran-us.
