As Google Fight shows, referer is more common on the Internet than referrer, even though referrer is the correct spelling.

Wikipedia describes a possible cause:

Referer is a common misspelling of the word referrer. It is so common, in fact, that it made it into the official specification of HTTP – the communication protocol of the World Wide Web – and has therefore become the standard industry spelling when discussing HTTP referers.

The Cinema Novo Festival screens feature films from Asia, Africa and Latin America. The 25th edition runs from 6 to 16 March 2008 in Brugge, Belgium.

The opening night at the Concertgebouw brings the Belgian premiere of Breath by Kim Ki-duk. The director’s cult classic The Isle is also screened in the Focus on memorable films from a 25-year festival history.

When you’ve seen too many movies, you can attend off-screen activities such as concerts and an exhibition.

Disclaimer: I am biased since I help organising the festival as one of the many volunteers
