FAQ is sort of a mine field as far as pronunciation goes. Do it wrong, you say "****". Do it right, and there's still, like, a 50/50 chance somebody hears a homophobic slur.

Don't sweat the small stuff OP, you're not a native speaker as you say, and it's really a pretty easy mistake to make. Hopefully your boss understands. All the best.

If you have an accent I can almost guarantee you that this was funny, not offensive because it would be clear you didn't know what you were saying lol.
