Poll: How do YOU pronounce FAQ?

[WOPR]

well I always say it out F.A.Q. (EFF A QUE)
but all the nerds here "say" it in this weird way that it comes out "Fack"

so how do YOU say it?

 

[Lawnmooer]

Eff, Ay, Cue.

Or more commonly "Thing"

 

[Mechsoap]

frequently asked questions?

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I'll usually say "Eff-Ay-Que" but sometimes I say "Fack" for some reason.

 

[C95J]

The normal way...

I'll leave the decision of which one I am talking about up to you.

Fack here too so guilty as charged I think it's one of those things where there'll always be more than one different ways of saying it. For instance the county town of Shrewsbury here is either pronounced Shrows Berry or Shrews Berry

 

[lacktheknack]

I say "Fack", so if someone's overloading me with information, I can say "FAQ YOU!" and not feel the need to punch myself.

 

[Armored Prayer]

A tie between "Eff-Ay-Que" and "Fack".

I like to mix between them a little. Keep the word from being boring.

Yup, exactly what I was going to answer.

 

[yankeefan19]

I always pronounce it "fack", as I am too lazy to say "eff-ay-cue"

 

[Distorted Stu]

Ef Ay Que

[Jackalb]

F.A.Q. Eff A Que from the poll at-least. I usually just say Dinosaur! though.

This man has the right idear.

The normal way...

the normal way is "F.A.Q." because it's an acronym; I have no clue when people started trying to pronounce acronyms...

lol --> lawl
MMORPG --> Ma-Mor-Pa-Ga
FAQ --> Fack

how long until...
OMG --> Ohm-ga
WTF --> wha-tifff


I mean seriously people; what's with it? you're not being "cute" you're being annoying...

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

"Help Centre."

"Technical support page."

"Fawks."

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

"Fack".
Because then it sounds like I am cursing at people. Which is great.

 

[Space Spoons]

I didn't know it was an acronym when I was little, so I used to pronounce it "fack" in my head. I know otherwise now, but it just kinda stuck, so even know, that's how I read it.

 

[gl1koz3]

Not worth the hassle of "eff ay cue"... just fack.

 

[catalyst8]

It depends on the context:

As an isolated noun, 'fack'.
In conjunction with its related subject 'frequently asked questions' e.g. The written title for the film FAQ About Time Travel is verbally referred to as 'Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel'.

It's kinda sad when people say "It's too much effort to say 2 syllables more then I 'NEED' to..."
