it should be a URL since D full form is universal resource locator and the word universal begins with the sound "yoo" , that means d beginning contains a consonant
So it should be A URL. I am sure i have made ur doubts clear!

[RonBee]

a URL (yoo ar el)

[okht-muslima]

it is
A URL

bcoz of the sound

[be real]

it's a URL
because of the sound ...

The U sounds like a YOU, as if it were a consonant. Therefore, you must say a URL. Cheers,

examples to help you- An Umbrella
A universal language
An unimportant event

read the sentences and listen to the difference in the sounds of the words such as (YU) as in uniform or (A) as in up.

Now i understand..

an heir
an heiress
The sound "h" is mute.

"An URL" is only correct because the pronounciation starts by the sound 'U' a vowel sound.
