how do u say FAQ u in whatever jargon u speak I speak regular old English of the American variety. Is this a trick question? In French and German, "FAQ" is "FAQ." It's one of those [many] phrases that the French hate us for. The Germans seem to adopt stuff left and right if it works. Literally, in French the phrase would probably be "Les questions les plus posées." In German, "die meistgefragten Fragen." "FAQ" is easier. My development in Arabic stopped way before there was such a thing as a "FAQ," but there's an Arabic word that sounds like it. In fact, when pronounced by a native Arabic speaker it sounds an awful lot like Dr. Id's favorite word. So we amused ourselves in language school by trying to get the teachers to say it. Do you know any other versions in other languages? I'm FAQ'd out on this issue. mpw@notafrequentquestion.edu
