From the FAQ:
"PostgreSQL is pronounced Post-Gres-Q-L. The name "Postgres" is also used in
conversation."

No, that's just how I always incorrectly pronounce it.

Not that one either.

As far as I've been (repeatedly) told, it's post gres cue ell. Never mind the
fact that that's the most unlikely pronunciation I could imagine ;) I
generally seem to stay out of trouble with people if I shorten it to post gres,
but I get berated (by multiple people) if I slip and say post gray.
