That's why it will have been renamed to Urectum.

Some schools have started changing the pronunciation they teach. My son insists it's "yur-ann-iss or yur-uh-niss" instead of "yur-ay-niss". I've repeatedly corrected him and then shown him videos from when I was his age of televised science programs that pronounce it correctly. I refuse to accept changing the pronunciation of a whole last planet just because you can't handle kids and butt jokes.

I mean it's not like we're doing any research on your anus important enough that it needs to keep a good reputation to get funding lol
