Hmmm. Let's make a little table, shall we?
Proper name Nickname
----------- --------
Chevrolet Chevy
PostgreSQL Postgres
Christopher Chris
Marcus Marc
Robert Bob
Richard Rick
Since I don't see Chevrolet changing their name to Chevy just because
everyone calls it that, or Christopher Chris, Marcus Marc, Robert Bob,
etc. why do you feel it necessary to change PostgreSQL to Postgres?
