For example,&#8217;<a href=\"http:\/\/hoax-slayer.net\/\">http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/<\/a>&#8216; is a URL (and a &#8216;web address&#8217;).<\/p>\n<p>URL stands for \u00a0<strong>U<\/strong>niform \u00a0<strong>R<\/strong>esource \u00a0<strong>L<\/strong>ocator.<\/p>\n<p>When spoken out loud, URL is normally pronounced &#8216;you-are-ell&#8217;. \u00a0 The term is also sometimes pronounced as &#8216;Earl&#8217;, although saying it that way may irritate the geeks in your life no end.<\/p>\n<p>A URL is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). \u00a0 A URI is a string of characters used to identify a name of a resource. \u00a0 However, &#8216;URL&#8217; and &#8216;URI&#8217; are often used interchangeably.<\/p>\n<p>Note that an alternative meaning for URL is \u00a0<strong>Universal<\/strong> \u00a0<strong>R<\/strong>esource \u00a0<strong>L<\/strong>ocator, although \u00a0<strong>U<\/strong>niform \u00a0<strong>R<\/strong>esource \u00a0<strong>L<\/strong>ocator is probably the most widely accepted.
