How do you say URL?
I almost always pronounce it YOU ARE ELL, but I know this one guy that actually says "urile" like it's a word. Does anybody else on the entire freaking PLANET say this? It is so weird. Whenever he says this I think of "urine." :eyes:

5. Yes. One syllable. "Earl", as in "Duke of URL".
Or James URL Jones.

8. And it's really annoying in a business context, cause I'm never where I can tell him to STOP IT.
And I always forget to have that conversation offline, and it's so trivial it's really not worth fighting about, but every time he does it in front of a client, it just makes me go :eyes:
