Just when you think you’ve seen every kind of question asked in a forum, someone comes along with a new one. This question was fun for everybody. What Does A Normal Person Call A URL?
I’m having trouble deciding what to label the input. Should it be URL, address, web address, link?
“Normal” people, like us web folks, never did agree on just one way. The song about the “Funny Farm” is an added bonus…
And just who do we call ‘normal’, anyway?
I’m feelin’ pretty normal, myself…I call it a URI.
But just you try looking THAT up… “universal resource indicator” “uniform resource identifier”…. regular mix and match.

One wonders at how anal some of us are about a URL. I once laughed at somebody for pronouncing it “earl”.
I got a dirty look for that but hey, I’ve never heard anyone call it that!
