I say "fack" for FAQ. I can't remember a time when I didn't say "fack".
And like many people have pointed out, this isn't an isolated case. It happens all the time. No need to freak out about it like this guy...

and sorry if I was just being ticked, it's not saying like a word that bugs me so much as it's TREATING it like a word
it means FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, not some gamer way of saying "Facts" with 2 less letters... (idiot Skype trolls...)
I like "fack" because it sounds like a word for a pseudo-fact or list of game "facts." So a GameFaq may not have facts in its walkthrough, but it's (usually) good enough to get you through the level, beat the boss, find the item, ect. In other applications, it works the same way because usually frequently asked questions respond with a collection of facts or "good enough for me" responses.
I like facks. I've always said facks and will continue to say facks.
Facks sounds like facts and that's a nice mnemonic connection. And it's easier than saying F-A-Cues. It's not lazy. It's convenient. Why should I over-work my tongue and lips on a principle?
So, look up some facks if you're lost or confused. Use a fack if you need one. It's mentally ingrained at this point.
Now, wait, is "KWOU," phonetically, "kwoo," or "kwow," or, perhaps, even "kwha?" The mire thickens O_O

Help! I'm mired in pedantry and I can't get out!Plazmatic said:

completely true, however, you would use a representation of even those word sounds as trak bak etc, and then counting fack is already used as a word, (a less hostile and comical form of "fuck" ) you cant use fack to represent the sound of faqParivir said:
