Re: "Postgre" WAS: The naming question (Postgres vs PostgreSQL)

Stefan, other English and German speakers:

This travel season I spent considerable time in Brazil and Italy.  Thing is,
there is *no* reasonable way to pronounce "PostgreSQL" with a Portuguese or
Italian accent.  It's a tongue-twister.

Given that it's more important to us that the Brazillian, Italian and
Spanish-speaking communities grow and get active in the worldwide community,
can we cut them some slack on pronounciation?   Can we please stop knee-jerk
reacting to an understandable mispronunciation / abbreviation?

Honestly, it makes our community sound like the people who insist on
"Gnu/Linux" all the time or "Lego Brand Building Blocks".
