"frequently-asked questions" is a plural noun with an adjective and adverb. However, once you abbreviate it FAQ to describe the _document_ (not the individual questions) then it becomes a separate, singular noun and then is pluralized itself. You have muliple questions in a single FAQ document. So "I wrote two FAQ's" (not sure if the apostrophe is needed) would be equivalent of "I wrote two documents". "I wrote two FAQ" is incorrect because "I wrote two document" is incorrect. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:156751 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
