BTDT: it was known as "X Windows", not "X Window".

But officially, it was (and still is) "X" or "The X Window System".

(I've been seeing a lot of folks refer to it as "X Window"
on Usenet lately -- you kids get off my lawn!)

There seem to be two different linguistic points of view here:

Descriptive View

The meaning of a term is determined by how it is used by the people.

Prescriptive View

The manufacturer of a system may determine the terms, and others not.
