It is only as hard as you encourage it to be so ... I've never had a
problem with pronouncing it, and other then the first pronounciation that
I have to correct, I've dealt with government officials that are
techo-illeterates, that have no problems pronouncing it ... the only
problem I've ever had with ppl pronouncing it has been that everyone
expects it to be pronounced:
Post-Gre-SQL
instead of
Post Gres Q L
once they realize where the split it, they no longer have problems ...
