Foncilla, When choosing between "abbreviation" or "acronym," FAQ would be considered an abbreviation because all acronyms are abbreviations, but not all abbreviations are acronyms. If it is pronounced "fak" as a single word, it can specifically be called an acronym. If pronounced "F-A-Q" letter by letter, it is more accurately classified as an initialism*. *FAQ is primarily an initialism because it is most commonly pronounced as "F-A-Q," where each letter is spoken individually. However, in some cases, people pronounce it as a single word ("fak"), which can also categorize it as an acronym depending on usage. (An acronym is a type of abbreviation formed from the initial letters of a phrase and pronounced as a word (e.g., NASA or scuba), whereas an abbreviation is a broader term for shortened forms of words or phrases, which can include acronyms, initialisms (like FBI, where each letter is pronounced individually), and shortened words (like "etc." for et cetera), meaning that FAQ—short for "Frequently Asked Questions"—is typically classified as an initialism because it is pronounced "F-A-Q" letter by letter, though some people pronounce it as a single word, which blurs the line toward being an acronym.)
