- AnimalMuppet 5y agoWhy? Of the options you list, to me GAFAM is the least recognizable. Why pick that one?
- PoignardAzur 5y agoIt's the one I've seen most often in France, fwiw.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoHmm, interesting. I hadn't thought of it being a language- or country-based issue. Still, this is an English language site (and article), so if that's the reason for the request, it seems unreasonable.
- zarriak 5y agoLike the other reply to you mentioned, it is the one most commonly used in other countries to my knowledge. I first noticed it in an article from FT talking with Japanese investors. It was my first notice of it because I had always seen the many others that were replied to my first comment. And upon my cursory search after that article it seems like the agreed upon big tech shorthand in the rest of the world that isn’t the US.
- pronlover723 5y agoWhy not M-FAAG which you can pronounce Em-Fog

- donkarma 5y agohonestly I would prefer people just used FAANG seeing as Facebook's name change didn't really do much to the user facing side and the ticker is still FB, but then you have to make the case for Alphabet.
