Poll: How do YOU pronounce FAQ?

[8-Bit Grin]

I used to pronounce it 'Fack', much liked my grammatically challenged father.

Over the years however, I've surpassed him in that regard and refer to them letter by letter.

 

[Plurralbles]

Fack.


What the fack is your problem : P

 

[Tomster595]

Usually Ef ay queue, but if i'm with my friends I'll say Fack.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

[HEADING=2]F. A. Q.[/HEADING]

It is not a word; I say the letters.

 

[hardband]

Eff Ay Cue FTW

 

[BehattedWanderer]

I usually don't say it. The odd times I use it, I usually say "GameFAQs", pronounced Game-facts, which is more how I use it.

 

[Ardna Xela]

It depends on which language I'm talking in at that moment. When I speak English, I pronounce it like "fack", but when I'm talking German, I pronounce it like "fuck". Swearing not intended.

 

[Will of One]

I just say the letters in danish.

 

[Daffy F]

Eff ay que. I just do...

 

[Chancie]

Yeah, I just say "fack." Every now and then, I've spelled it out for some reason, but otherwise, it's just fack.

 

[Baldry]

I think I say all of them...not sure which I say the most frequently though!

 

[InnerRebellion]

Fack. I sound stupid, but I don't like how Eff-Aye-Que sounds.

 

[Shynobee]

Well, when reading to myself, I read it "fack," but when reading out loud, I'll say "eff a cue"

 

[FateDarkstar]

Wouldn't it be.. Facts? Since it has everything to do with the FACTS of a game?

..just saying

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I say fack I have never known anyone who says it different.

The normal way...

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

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...

I usualy hear people say 'lawl' than hear 'ell oh ell'. Also, isn't possible to alternate between pronouncing each letter and saying it as a single word? You don't say 'ell aye ess ee ar', do you? No, you say laser. If you say each letter for that word, you are the one being annoying.

F.A.Q.

Faq could be... misinterpreted...

Sorry to upset you, but I myself am a dirty, dirty facker.

Part of the reason is that I am able to say that.

 

[Agayek]

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?

It depends on context for me usually. If I'm referring to actual document, like a company's FAQ answers on their website or whatever, I'll pronounce each letter, but when it's in conjunction with something else (like gameFAQs.com for example), I say Fack. It's sorta random, but it makes sense in my head and that's all that really matters.

 

[USSR]

FACK.

Only because it is fun to scream..
