you wouldn't even think of calling this a wtf if you
had only a slight idea of what characters >, < and ! stand for in
(virtually) every shell.
guess what! in xslt, there's < instead of <. now that's wtf!

RE: How do you pronounce faq
@fragmer said:
When I lived in Russia (1988-2003), I always prenounced FAQ as "f*ck you." Now that I moved to the U.S., I have to be polite and say "eff-ei-kyou" or "frequently asked questions." =)
we do the same here in slovakia (think hostel :-@), since slovak language is pretty straightforward when it comes to pronounciation. it has a simple rule: "write what you hear" or "read what you see". that means each character has its own fixed pronounciation assigned and is never voiced any other way (in contrast to english).
due to such lingual roots and lack of solid feel for english i'msometimes lost hearing native english speakers pronounce theabbreviations. either they voice them as the words of their own, orspell them, or even combine the two, rarely do they do it anythingclose to what i would.
then i visited my favourite discussion site, wathing native speakersfighting about the correct pronounciation i got enlightened by the realwtf.
