Poll: How do YOU pronounce FAQ?

[Plazmatic]

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?

another OP rains his illogical thought on us all, oh help us.

You need to think before you post, about a month in advance if possible, because you obviously are not able to make logical on the spot posts.

You obviously tried to make some argument out of this, when there really shouldn't be.

There is only one way to say FAQ as a acronym, and that is FAK (by the way FACK is saying faek or fuck and fak at the same time, not really F as in fish, A as in rat and k as in yak.)

However you can still say EFF AE CUE (yeah you messed up on that one too, QUE would be KWOU) with out being incorrect, you simply are not using it in acronomic form, and you as well can say frequently asked questions, you aren't even using the acronym at all that way.

You see, when I first saw it, I didn't know that it meant "Frequently Asked Question(s)," so I always said "fack."

F-a-c-k, f-a-c-k - FAQ!

I suppose it would be less confusing to simply say frequently asked questions, but I tend to say the above before I realize I'm doing it. Though, when I'm reading it I'll say frequently asked questions in my head.

I pronounce it FAQ. Rarely use it though, I barely never speak English in real life.

 

[Sprntr_Zomby]

Personally, I call them Common Questions, or if telling someone to look something up I call them 'the Guide'

 

[zombays]

I say it "Fack" I said it back in 8th grade in front of my teacher, she would get so pissed but she couldn't do anything about it. "GET THE FACKS STRAIGHT, POOPY PANTS!" I'd say that in front of her, ah, good times, good times.

 

[Parivir]

Fack but only cause of Gamefaqs which I've allways pronounced game facks.

 

[LitleWaffle]

Ef ay cue or just Frequently Asked Questions. Depends on the person.

For example, some people I know hate it when I say Frequently Asked Questions, so I say that around them all the time.

I present the words back, track, whack and smack. Plus I'm sure there are others.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Fack, always fack. Unless it's in a setting where that might seem offensive or just stupid. Like in a classroom or any formal setting really. In which case I just say each letter individually.

 

[DJDarque]

A healthy mixture of both, but mostly "ef-ay-cue", but when it comes to websites I say fack like gamefacks.

 

[viranimus]

I prefer Fack simply because it affords me the chance to say "Go Fack yourself" when someone is asking me something they dont know and it is actually directions instead of an insult.

 

[rvdm88]

i say it as FackQ sounding more like fack you xD

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

Faq. With a q, not a ck. It's a tonal difference.

Aw, fack it.

(I don't say F. A. Q. because I'd sound like a robot.)

 

[Marter]

Ef Ay Que if it's alone.

Fack if it's part of something, like "GameFAQs".

 

[Sparcrypt]

Eff-Aye-Que here... 'Fack' just sounds dumb to me.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

eff-aye-ques, but I always pronounce GameFAQs as game-facks. Go figure.

 

[Unesh52]

When I was a kid I didn't realize it was an acronym. I pronounced it "Fa(ck)-qua," and now I can't stop myself. It's really weird.

 

[Death God]

The very first choice. Just call them by their letters.

 

[DustyDrB]

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...

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...

Pick your battles, fella.
