It's a long "U", so it should be an "a", not an "an"...

The PROPER way to do it is
a URL
("A Uniform Resource Locator" Not "AN Uniform Resource Locator")
My opinion

Subject: URL grammar
I'm done with the SES article (and it rocks) but there's one issue that
we're
stuck on. I like to write sentences talking about URLs like the following:
"...an URL is used for this..."
Judith thinks that because URL is an acronym, it should be
"...a URL is used for this..."
The difference is between "an" and "a". We just want to be proper with this.
Yes, it's stupid perfection but we like perfection. :)
Anyone here have an informed opinion on this? Any writers, editors, etc?
Thanks
