No one I know correctly pronounces the acronym for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. FAFSA. Faff-suh.

I hear "fassa" a lot from people of suspect intelligence, but what really bothers me is my coworkers. A lot of these people have master's degrees. So why can't they see that it is NOT "fass-fuh." It drives me crazy, I guess because that isn't the order the letters are in. I think if you look at the acronym once you should be able to pronounce it.

Anyway, it's stupid but it annoys the shit out of me.
