>There is no such thing as SQL Server, or more correct, there are very many SQL Server!!! You must also name the manufacturer!!! In this case you clearly mean Microsoft SQL Server, also called MS SQL Server. Please use that name in the future, to avoid confusion.

On the contrary, there is only one SQL server. There are many other database servers. Most of them allow commands in a SQL 92 compliant language, but none are called „SQL server“. Check the list at https://database.guide/list-of-relational-database-management-systems-rdbms/, and while many of them may contain the SQL acronym, only few of them contain „SQL server“ in description (when related to it) and only one, the one with the prefix, in the name. So the prefix is superfluous.

Likewise, I don't see any reason to repeat the prefix in front of Excel and few others. As if there are dozens of others with the same name, and without the prefix we'd be under an avalanche of ambiguity.

Only in some cases I approved the prefix, when it served the specific purpose of adding the precise meaning. For one, the „microsoft internet explorer“ was exactly what it said, a tool to explore the microsoft internet. For other internets, not so good.
