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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

watch the video explaining the differences between acronyms (like LASER) and initialisms (like FAQ)

I say Eff Ay Cue unless I'm talking about Gamefaqs.com, then it's Game Facks.
Basically this, although when reading texts aloud i do say 'lawl' for L.O.L. and 'roffle' for R.O.F.L. etc

Does that make me a bad person? :(
