（雑談）FAQ の読み方

FAQ をファックと読むのはおかしいというご意見をいただきました。 どうもこれは holy wars の一種のようで， あいまいなままにしておいたほうがよかったようです。 しかし，有名な Jargon File も

:FAQ: /F-A-Q/ or /fak/ /n./  [Usenet] 1. A Frequently Asked
   Question.  2. A compendium of accumulated lore, posted periodically
   to high-volume newsgroups in an attempt to forestall such
   questions.  Some people prefer the term `FAQ list' or `FAQL'
   /fa'kl/, reserving `FAQ' for sense 1.

1.2)  How is FAQ pronounced?

    FAQ is pronounced three ways:
          1. By pronouncing the letters individually:  F - A - Q
          2. As a word:  fack
          3. Obscenely:  


    The first two pronunciations are the most common, and are used about
    equally.  Some will say F - A - Q if they are speaking with someone
    that really doesn't know the Internet.  Those who are lazy (me for
    example) will use "fack", since it is easier to say.  Often when
    initiating a conversation it is useful to say F - A - Q, and then
    once the subject has been established, "fack" should be sufficient.

    You will notice that in this document I use the phrase "a FAQ" rather
    than "an FAQ".  This is because most of the time I say "a fack"
    instead of "an F-A-Q".

    Feel free to use whichever pronunciation you prefer and don't let
    anyone bully you.  Both ways are acceptable.  If you use the third
    way... well, you're on your own.

というわけで，どちらの発音も正しいというわけです。 ただ，日本式英語では fack と fuck の発音が同じになってしまうので， 気にする人はエフエーキューと発音されるようです。
