I never heard of an "X Windowing System" or "X Windows"....

How about "X Window System"?

Look at it this way; the companies/magazines/people who get it wrong
makes it easy to identify those who don't know anything about X or
X11...  Therefore easy to ignore...  If they didn't get it wrong, it
would be much harder to identify the amateurs...
