rainbowsparkle Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 So, I was chatting to a guy in the pub about websites and he said, "I'll send you some URLs." Only he pronounced each letter as in "you are ells" and for a minute I was lost, cos in my head I always pronounce it "Earl" and I had to stop myself saying, "Oh, Earls?" in case he thought I was daft. I just wondered how everyone else says it, whether in their heads or aloud. Anyhoo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgteddy Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 The way I pronounce it comes closes to Earl so I voted for that. url can be pronounced as a word,so why not do it? As far as I know everybody ponounces NATO as a full word and don't pronounce the letters seperately. N A T O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Stabby Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Its U.R.L as it does stand for something, its not a seperate word. Like DVD is Digital Versatile Disk, URL is Uniform Resource Locater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporty_Si Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Yeah but as someone else said, NATO stands for something but you dont spell it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
