| Frequently
Asked Questions. These act like mini help pages on
all sorts of topics.
The FAQ
(pronounced FAK) or list of "frequently-asked
questions" (and answers) has become a feature
of the Internet. The FAQ seems to have originated in
many of the Usenet groups as a way to acquaint new
users with the rules. Today, there are thousands of
FAQs on the World Wide Web.
To see the
range and variety of topics for which FAQs have been
written, go to Google or any major search engine,
and enter "faq" or "faqs" in the
search entry box. To find a FAQ on a subject of
interest (for example, hedgehogs), enter "faq
and hedgehogs"(without the quotes). Also note
that the number of subjects on which you will NOT
find a FAQ is also large. The most useful FAQs are
often found at a Web site you've discovered through
other search approaches.
