I mostly don't shorten. "Sequel" for S-Q-L still gives me the creeps. 'Course, I have taken to using "dub-dub-dub" and I have been genuinely surprised that many folks don't employ the phonetic "fak" for F-A-Q. I hate spelling that one out.

This is the only one I have difficulty with. I prefer to use "fak", for some reason (I spell everything else out), but I'm never absolutely certain if the person I'm talking to is going to know what I'm talking about.
