I think PGSQL enforces the PostgreSQL name, where as PG can still lead to Postgre.

I do refer to it as PGSQL, Postgres and PostgreSQL in conversation, but this has gotten to the point of silliness.  We don't need to adopt more usable forms of the name.  We need to settle on a name that makes sense and move forward.  The politics around this and the vocal anti-rename minority are getting ridiculous, imho.

"PS" be a better abbreviation based on the spelling "PostgreSQL".  And
"PGQL" be better based on the pronunciation "Post Gres Q L".  Don't you think?
