It really is pronounced Yur-AH-niss. Not 'Your anus'. Don't ever pronounce it Yur-anus in front of Astrology teacher that teaches higher then high school level. They're very picky about it being pronounced correctly and not like the joke. I'm sure 'Your anus' started out as a joke or a funny mispronouncement, but it's gotten out of hand. Time for a correction. Yur-AH-niss, Okay?
I had a science teacher when I was in high school who insisted that this is said "YUR-a-nis" but I really think this is an attempt to avoid the undesired relation to bad butt jokes. It is quite annoying when people mis-pronounce things for any reason and even more so that they are teaching this incorrect bit of speach to high school kids.
It SHOULD be pronounced YUR-ah-nus because many children (and immature adults) have WAY too much fun with the 'your ...' well, you know, pronunciation.
It should be "oo-RAH-noos". I use that to avoid any embarrassing moments.
