I know.

My point is that almost everyone refers to it as Postgres, because they do not actually value the descriptiveness of "PostgreSQL".

Also because the original name was, just, "Postgres". Stylized as POSTGRES.

PostgreSQL is an awful neologism (OK it's been around for a while now), and I honestly thought that they had decided to switch back to the original, and clearly superior, name. :) I recall it being under discussion several years back, and I am surprised it did not happen.

I always thought it was because it is more obvious how to pronounce "postgres" than "PostgreSQL".
