It may NOT be misspelt: since 1994, the official terminology (see
RFC-1630) has been Universal Resource Identifier (URI), and /not/
Universal Resource Locator (URL).
Considering that probably more than 90% of the present-day users of the
Internet have come to it since that date, it's surprising that everyone
uses a term that was already officially obsolete when they joined. I
suspect that we must blame those responsible for programs such as
Nutscrape & Internet Exploder who did nothing to promulgate the official
nomenclature.
