With all due respect, I believe that particular ship left port about 3
centuries ago...
Personally, I try not to use `X Windows' when I can avoid doing so,
because I think it sounds stupid. However, the particular names
endorsed by the X consortium are often clumsy because they're either too
terse, and so can be confusing (X, X11), or simply unwieldy (`The X
Window System'); `X Windows' has neither of these problems (mostly
because it sounds like that well-known redmond-spawned system, of
course).
