When looking at all HTTP headers, after so many years of probably doing the same, I realized that Referrer was misspelled. This wikipedia entry has some details on why, mostly attributable to the fact that ispell (?) did not recognize either word at the time.

Anyway, it's a fun fact of computer history :)

Edit: added source RFC.
