I'm a fakker when it comes to this, I'll admit.  Happily reminds me of Heavy Metal every time, though I find it does get me some blank looks when I actually talk about warhammer stuff with my friends and reference the newest 'fakk' that just came out ...

It is an F-A-Q. It could not be otherwise.

"The last known instance of common sense happened at a GT. A player tried to use the 'common sense' argument vs. Mauleed to justify his turbo-boosted bikes getting a saving throw vs. Psycannons. The player's resulting psychic death scream erased common sense from the minds of 40k players everywhere. " - Ozymandias

Fakk.  I just got into the habit when I was younger, and it hasn't changed.

Fakk.  It's an acronym for a reason.  How much longer does it take to say eff-ayy-cue?

Holy *gak*. I was sure that everyone did it my way.

Well, we've got a game at 7pm PST tomorrow. Puget likes to run the hell out of the ball, so I imagine I'll be done with that around 9:30, meaning you can catch me back at my room around 10. Does that work for you?  That'll be a hell of a flight to book if you're not already in LA though.

On a related note, those giant walkers in Star Wars are called Ay-Tee Ay-Tees.

I'm with stonefox, I hate that they always say @-@'s when talking about Star Wars on TV then make it almost a point to say Ay-Tee Es-Tee. Make up your mind ubar-noids!

You do realize that most Star Wars pronunciations were developed by guys like me, who were 7 or so when Empire hit the big screens, right?

It will ALWAYS be @-@'s; the seven-year-old inside of me says so!

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.
