i've finally got my brain wrapped around to believing that referer is the correct spelling within the context of HTTP. Any time i need to talk about a referer, it's spelled referer. if it's spelled referrer, it must mean something else.


Reminds me when I have to pronounce router the network thing vs router the woodworking tool. The former is pronounced the USA way, the latter the English way.
