My concrete proposal. I want one simple statement from
the project that it's OK for people to say both "Postgres"
and "Postgre" so every customer, salesguy, and executive I
deal with doesn't get stuck in a terminology flame-war
evertime they use the obvious short form of PostgreSQL.

Here's a patch.

! The unofficial pronunciations of <i>Post-gree</a> and
