While you are absolutely right about the 'S' you made a mistake
concerning the other names, just type

       man X

and you will see:


       The X Consortium requests that the following  names  be  used
       when 
       referring to this software:

                                        X
                                 X Window System
                                  X Version 11
                           X Window System, Version 11
                                       X11


This means X may *not* be called XWindow either.
