It is spelled "URl"

There are many sectarian divides in computer.

• "Little-Endians" and "Big-Endians" wage bitter war against each other over the order of bits.
• Should line in text files end with \r\n or just \n?
• And both vi and emacs users fight betwixt themselves while ignoring the superior foe - nano.

Perhaps the most contentious of these is the battle between URI and URL. Should we refer to links on the web as Uniform Resource Identifiers or Locators? Obviously there is a correct answer - and anyone who disagrees is a heretic.

So, I've come up with a compromise guaranteed to annoy satisfy everyone - URl.

That's upper-case U, upper-case R, lower case L.

Perfect!
