How is the name of that product supposed to be pronounced? Why is there only one S if it is both Postgres and SQL? FWIW I call it Post-GRE-SQL because somehow it seems "graduate level."

Originally the product was called "Postgres" (as Post Ingres, a DB at the time), then they joined the word SQL to make it clear it was a relational DB.

I think "POST-GRES-QL" is the correct one, like if it was "Postgres query language"
