The fun thing about web pages is that you can share an url instead of taking a screenshot:

Blame me, and others like me. I wouldn't click
True. But, you can do both
What'd be cool is if when you enter a URL the lemmy interface lets the poster choose an image or even cropped region from the linked page.
I think it's best to do both.
I know an url is grammatically correct, but for whatever reason it doesn't sound right.
Is it? I would think it's 'a', not 'an' because it's "a you-are-el" (English is not my native language).
Yup, that's correct. It doesn't matter that it begins with a vowel, what matters is if it sounds like a vowel. Likewise, "an university" and "a hour" are both incorrect.
This is still salvageable by pronouncing it as "an earl".
Well, I'm sure at least some person out there pronounces it that way, but I've certainly never met one!
Try with Europe. Its a European not an European
