FAQ

Stands for "Frequently Asked Questions," and is pronounced "F-A-Q". These text files, which are found all over the Internet, are created to answer the majority of questions a newcomer to an web site might have. Web sites will often refer visitors to the FAQ before telling them to e-mail their questions, which helps cut down on tech support. However, FAQs aren't just about web sites. There are thousands of FAQs out there for topics like company information, computer hardware, technology standards, and video games as well.
