How do would you pronounce GameFAQs?

[miikes]

game"facts"...

but then we call people who use faqs "faqers"

 

[azotyp]

what a stupid topic
btw.
when i pronounce gamefaqs i say , walkthroughts

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

In all seriousness, I pronounce it as "game-fags" but I don't hate that site or anything.

 

[Dirtie]

I pronounce it as: Game F-A-Qs

I spell out the FAQs part.

Same here

I'm one of those people that really, really hates saying acronyms as a word, I always say the letters...

...apart from gamefaqs (and just FAQ as well) that is, it seems to be the one exception (gamefacks)

 

[Javacat]

Game ef ay queues.

I spell out most acronyms as it's easier for n00bs to understand and doesn't make me sound elitist

 

[ShadowXP]

Game-eff-aye-ques

This. It's GAME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, do you call all FAQs faxs?

 

[mthrnite]

Game facks. I call multiple FAQs facks. If I had a pile of FAQs laying on a table, I'd have a bunch of facks. Pick up those facks and bring them to me, I'd say, and if you drop a fack, pick it up and put it with the other facks (I like my facks in stacks.) I'll spell out F. A. Q. if I think someone doesn't understand, and further, I'd say "frequently asked questions" if they still didn't understand. If they still didn't understand after that, I'd probably ask them what they're doing Saturday night.

 

[OSW]

Fack! same as mother!

seems the natural way to say it

 

[Samutz]

I pronounce it as: Game F-A-Qs

I spell out the FAQs part.

Ditto. Without spelling out the S. (eff-ay-quoos)
And I say the FAQ part fast.
Just like I spell out GBA in GBAtemp instead of saying Gubbatemp.

 

[mthrnite]

Gubbatemp

 

[butaro]

hmm i've always said game facks, but i say Gee bee eh(GBA) temp

 

[Salamantis]

I say Game Facks, but sometimes I'd say Game F-A-Q.

 

[superkrm]

"Gamefax"

Just like SQL is pronounced "Sequel" by those in the know and the only one's who say S-Q-L in the office are P.M's who wouldn't know a inner join query if came up on the street and wracked them in the balls.

I once did hear a female manager pronounce URL as "Earl" and I had to LMAO to the dismay of all assembled.


Edit: and also Web Services DL's (WSDL) are shortened to phonetic "Wizzdle". It's common in IT to phonetically pronounce acronyms this way so anyone who tells me gamefax is wrong, is well wrong.

I've never heard of SQL called sequel in my 7 years of being associated with the Computer Science faculty at my University (I'm a post grad student). Not that I spend a large amount of time dealing with databases (haven't touched one in 4-5 years), but I did manage to get a High Distiction in the database class I took.

Maybe it's just around here, but unless the abbreviation spells something, it usually is spelt out. I've never actually heard someone say Faxs for FAQs, but I am aware of it because I've seen this discussed before on the intarwebs.

 

[pikachucrackpipe]

i say 'wtf youre lost in a game? owned'

Very possible. I've never heard anyone in my department refer to it as SQL, always Sequel.

 

[mat88]

i say gamefack

and i say gee bee eehh temp not gubbatemp

 

[sirAnger]

Game-Fax here.

And as far as SQL goes, I use s-q-l and sequel interchangably. Most people in my office do.

 

[square]

Game- F-A-Qs

Traditionally in english you pronounce the letters in an acronym

 

[Szyslak]

Funny, I don't think I've ever said it out loud. In my head though, I still spell out the acronym. Quite strange now that I think about it.

Di-Toe. I wouldn't think someone was an idiot just for saying S-Q-L. I might, however, think someone was an idiot if they used that criteria to blindly judge others.
