As a non-native speaker, I've been calling this planet "your anus" because I never heard it being pronounced before, and these internet jokes made me think it was pronounced the same way. Like "if it's funny it's probably because they sound the same".

If you ever feel stupid just think of this.

Your pronunciation was correct before the 1980s. Then, the scientific community collectively had enough of the snickering.
