Today, I had a seriously shocking discovery.

I have been pronouncing "URL" wrong forever.

Apparently it's weird to roll it off the tongue as "earl", you're supposed to say: YOU ARE EL as in individually U R L.

Thanks, I hate it.

@ThePlant If you asked me the "earl", I would have no idea what you were talking about. I have only ever heard it as U R L.

@ThePlant saying earl is like saying “wuh wuh wuh” instead of “double-yoo double-yoo double-yoo”

Look, you may think I am weird, and you would be incredibly right.

But, say it as earl, see how it deliciously rolls off the tongue.

If I'm wrong, I don't want to be right.

@ThePlant @babe I’ve heard more than one person utter it as “u rail”, so please take solace in knowing that “earl” is not the most strange one out there. :)
