Dear Native speakers and English Teachers, how do we pronounce the abbreviation "FAQ"? Wikipedia doesn �t seem to give a definite answer, so I �m at a loss. Are there many variants? How would YOU say? Thanx!

FAQ is frequently plural, and we pronounce FAQs the same as "fax", partly because it sounds very much like "facts". Bruce |

"Fack" is what I most commonly hear (and use).

LOL Bruce and Douglas - there is no way you could get away pronouncing it like that here. The whole room would be laughing.
Like Apodo said, we say the letters.
I wonder what the Brits do?
Cheers

BTW did you know that some Russian sites have "ЧАВО"- часто задаваемые вопросы as the analogy of FAQs:)? Sophia |
