That's the camp I'm in ... although I can't recall ever seeing anyone refer to
it as Postgre, except in this list ... to be totally honest, if I ever *heard*
anyone refer to it as Postgre, I would have most likely assumed that it was a
language issue ... in French, the 's' would have been silent, so someone French
spelling it 'Postgres', would possibly pronounce it Postgre ...

All we should be "promoting" is that it isn't *wrong* to use Postgres ... what
Bruce is advocating is creating more confusion by flip-flopping between names
within the official documentation ...
