Apparently the Postgres lineage is sufficiently obfuscated to cause
people to think that the correct pronunciation/shorthand of PostgreSQL
is 'Postgre' and not 'Postgres'. Note the last line in the "What's New
in this Version" paragraph:

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/postgresql.html

Perhaps all introductory material, press releases, etc. should begin like:

PostgreSQL, descendant of Postgres, is a sophisticated
Object-Relational DBMS...blah blah...
