I guess I'm weird.  I say "fak".  As in, "you can't figure it out?  Did you check the 'fak'?"


Along these lines, how do you say "URL"?  I use to say "You are el", now I say it the more fun way, "earl".

The question was "how do you pronounce FAQs", so I said fax (or facks). I pronounce FAQ as fack.

FAQs = "Fax" for me, at least that's how my family has always said it.

Wait, why are "fax" and "facts" both options?  Are they not the same?

     Fax. As Lief pointed out, I only use option 1 when referring to the singular form.

F-A-Q's.  I've never even heard anyone say "faks" but I think I'm gonna start to.

Not in my dialect of English.

fax =  /fæks/ 
facts = /fækts/
