Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use profanity in my FAQs? Can I use humor?

GameFAQs: Message List
Yes, but only when appropriate. If a guide features profanity as part of its script, feel free to use it as such. However, don't overdo the profanity. There is no reason to swear in a guide, and doing so will often detract from the clarity and usefulness of the guide. Humor isn't so serious in that sense, but again, use where appropriate. A little light humor here and there is okay, but remember that a guide is meant to inform, not to entertain.

What can you use to write FAQs? What's the best?

GameFAQs: Message List
Any program that can edit text (such as Notepad, UltraEdit, Microsoft Word, OpenOffice.org Write, etc.) can be used. The tricky part is making sure you get the linefeeds in each line. There's a free program that many FAQ authors use called MetaPad (http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/) that allows you to easily put in linefeeds (Commit Word Wrap) and remove trailing spaces. Another option is to write your FAQ and then use IGN's Format Tool (http://faqs.ign.com/format_faq.

Can Christian fighter pilots use profanity?

Christian Fighter Pilot FAQ
The Bible specifically and explicitly calls the use of profanity a sin. Therefore, it is inconsistent with the Christian character for a Christian fighter pilot to use profanity in either its full, abbreviated, or substituted forms. See the article on profanity, as well as the article on the double entendre of "so to speak."

What font and size of text should I use when writing FAQs?

GameFAQs: Message List
Text files have no font to speak of; the font is based purely on system configurations, so font choice ultimately will not affect the outcome of the FAQ. When writing a FAQ, use a fixed-width font to accurately create tables, charts, diagrams or otherwise paragraph alignments. Courier New is one of the commonly used fixed-width fonts. It takes several days, sometimes longer depending on the backlog. Guides are rarely checked on weekends. Wait until the site is updated.

Is it a good idea to use humor at the beginning of a presentation to connect to the audience?

Commcore Strategies: Frequently Asked Questions
Be very careful with the use of humor. It has been my experience that most people aren't as funny as they think they are. Humor, if not developed or directed carefully, can offend someone in your audience. If you decide to use humor, consider using yourself or a personal experience as the object of the joke.

How does humor keep us healthy?

Frequently Asked Questions
The Book of Proverbs in the Bible says a merry heart doeth good like a medicine. Now doctors are starting to prove it. A roaring laugh works like aerobic exercise (they call it inner jogging!) increasing the heart rate, improving the oxygen supply to the muscles and creating an overall sense of well-being. Some speculate that laughter may boost immune responses. Some researchers have found it can help us gain control over pain and promote healing.

IS LAUGHTER THE SAME AS HUMOR?

World Laughter Tour, Inc. - F A Q
Not exactly. Humor is personal, individual, and subjective. Laughter is universal; the ability to laugh is virtually inborn in all human beings. Some of the world's experts on the subject tell us that humor is the psychological function by which each person decides what's funny in a story or situation. In contrast, laughter is physical (often a response to humor).

What role does humor play in your work? How does it spin your message?

Guerrilla Girls: Frequently Asked Questions
We've discovered that ridicule and humiliation, backed up by irrefutable information, can disarm the powers that be, put them on the spot, and force them to examine themselves. A few years ago, some new members joined who were impressed by our reputation but disagreed with our sense of humor. They wanted us to start organizing seminars and writing position papers. They lived out the stereotype of feminists with no sense of humor. We had to kiss them goodbye.
