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.WOPR said:the normal way is "F.A.Q." because it's an acronym; I have no clue when people started trying to pronounce acronyms...C95J said:The normal way...
I'll leave the decision of which one I am talking about up to you.

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...

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.WOPR said: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?
watch the video explaining the differences between acronyms (like LASER) and initialisms (like FAQ)chickencow said:I usualy hear people say 'lawl' than hear 'ell oh ell'.

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