I pronounce it Er-in-us now. Why? When I was in college I had a classical mythology class and the professor was talking about the god that the planet was named after. She pronounced it that way, and I figured, well, she would know how to pronounce it.
And it sounds a heck of a lot better than Yer-ayn-us. Or the other pronunciation Yer-in-us, which isn't much better.
I actually pronounce it "You-ron-us" to try and avoid the chuckles from kids in class.
I really hate that planet.
