What does FAQ stand for?
FAQ stands for frequently asked questions. It refers to a set of common questions with prepared answers, usually grouped in one place so people can find help without contacting anyone.
Is it FAQ or FAQs?
Both are correct but mean slightly different things. FAQ usually names the page or section as a whole, while FAQs refers to the individual questions on it. No apostrophe is needed in the plural.
What is the difference between an FAQ and a Q&A?
An FAQ collects questions that come up over and over and answers them in writing for everyone. A Q&A is usually a live or one-off exchange, such as an interview or an audience session, where the questions are not known in advance.
