I know how it's pronounced, I never said anything to the contrary! The
actual fact that there is a need for the pronunciation on the webpage
hints at my point - it's a real mouthful!
And as I said this was a 'whimsical' post - I don't really care either
way what the name is... But i'm sure most people shorten it to
Postgres.
