I was just wondering how most people pronounced FAQ. I used to spell it out "F-A-Q" then i started pronouncing it as if it was a word like "Fact". So "game faqs" would be "game facts". Yeah, i know its random, but i don't wanna do my essay right now and i was curious.

one of my friends calls it game fakwas.... what a deuche
I say it "Game-Eff-Eh-Kyews." Some friends I have and various people on SOCOM II call it gamefacks. It really is meant to be said Game(Then say each letter). FAQ is an acronym after all.

I replace the "q" with "ck". But if it's plural, then I'll say it like the word "fax".

Not necessarily. Look at NASA. or NASCAR. or NOAA.
It always bothers me when people say F-A-Q. I've always said fack or facks.

FAQ = Frequently asked questions
AKA "Eff-Aye-Kew" or "fak" for short
Ergo, in the case of Gamefaqs it's supposed to be pronounced "gamefaks", because "game-Eff-Aye-Kews" sounds pretty retarded.

Usually I'll say it like fax.
but ever so often it like so...Fah Queue.

I just say "Fack". For FAQ's, I say "Facks". Whatever makes sense to you, I guess.

Fack, for the most part.
F-A-Q, if I'm like, "Hey, look at this FAQ".
