Toronto International Film Festival '05

So it's that time of year again, and I've made my pics. Trying something different this time using the slideshowpro plugin to display the movies I'm seeing in a new way. If this works the way I hope I'll probably splice this out in to daily versions.

Just the FAQ

I had a nice long [ okay maybe too long ] discussion with one of our content strategists over one of my big pet peeves: When people use the term "FAQs" when they really means "FAQ". Over the course of a very short period of time I managed to gather a lot of information to support my view:

Answer.com and Dictionary.com

Some Google results:
FAQ 423,000,000
FAQs 191,000,000

It all basically boils down to the this: In FAQ the object is the page (or list) of questions, not the questions themselves. FAQs is the plural of FAQ.

Good examples of sites that use the term correctly:

GameFAQs.com and Faqs.org

So unless you have multiple FAQ pages, or you are on the FAQ and referring to the questions on the page "the FAQs below", it's FAQ.
