The eternal struggle of scientific pronunciation strikes again. This meme perfectly captures what happens when astronomers try to communicate with each other over radio. Uranus has been the butt of planetary jokes since grade school, but real scientists have their own pronunciation wars. Some say "YUR-uh-nus" (like the announcer intended), while others insist on "yoo-RAY-nus" to avoid sounding like they're discussing celestial posteriors. The deadpan "It is on this channel" response is exactly how a senior researcher would handle a colleague's pronunciation correction—with thinly veiled irritation and professional pettiness. Trust me, I've seen fistfights break out over whether it's "data" or "dah-ta" at conferences.
