“An FAQ” really sets my grammar nerves jangling. “A FAQ” isn’t great either.
Maybe “FAQ on Reinforcement…” or “FAQ about Reinforcement…”
Why? You'd say it as "An Eff-AQ"
I'm guessing their issue isn't about the vowel, it's about the number mismatch between the singular article "an" and the plural noun phrase "frequently asked questions".
FAQ is a singular noun derived from that phrase
Unless you say it as "a fak"
An honest mistake.
"FAQs on Reinforcement..."?
