FAQ

FAQ is an acronym for Frequently Asked Questions. It is usually pronounced as a word, fack, although some "spell-pronounce" it as eff aye kew.

The FAQ is an Internet tradition originating from periodic summary messages posted to USENET? [news group]?s in an attempt to reduce the continual reposting of the same basic questions. (just speculating)

Wikipedia has its own FAQ at Wikipedia FAQ, and there are thousands more available; to assist in locating them, several sites catalog them and provide search capabilities -- for example, the [Internet FAQ Consortium].
