What? SQL itself is cursed with people thinking there's one right way to pronounce it, and everybody else is stupid, but PostgreSQL has the advantage that you can just say "Postgres" and dodge that mess. Good luck saying "MySQL" without triggering at least one person in your office.
(I think the official MySQL stance is that both pronunciations are acceptable, but that doesn't stop pedants from being pedantic.)
