Spoken out loud, I use "Apache Web Server" and in writing I use "Apache HTTPD". Once the context is clear (that I am referring to the software and not the organization), I typically shorten it to just "Apache" if I have to refer to it again.
I have another related problem....
Recruitment Agent: Have you done Struts?
Me: Yes I have done some Struts. I can point you at websites I have built with Apache Struts.
Agent: Is that the same as "Jakarta Struts"?
Me: <explanation of the ASF and its projects>
I think this whole Jakarta brand has backfired and is diluting the Apache name.
But few people seem to care about the ASF's professional image....
