Reading your comment is the first time I’ve ever pronounced FAQ in such a way as to rhyme with “hack” instead of as “fax/facts” or “Ef Ay Qu” or “teh Questions.”
I am happy to add “the hack FAQ” to my snack pack.

* FAQ is "fack", though I hear "eff-aye-que" often enough. * .edu is "dot ee dee you" not "dot ed-you", though I pronounce all of the other old-school domains as words. * .dev is definitely "dot dev", since "dev" is a word.
It may be apocryphal, but I remember reading somewhere that Tim Berners-Lee chose the name "World Wide Web" because the acronym was harder to say than the word itself.
I prefer ed-you, since it’s both shorter and matches the pronunciation of ‘education’. But when I’m feeling saucy, I pronounce .edu “dot eedoo”.
