My pronunciations:
* 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.
- dahart 7y ago> .edu is “dot ee dee you” not “dot ed-you” 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”.
