@brikis98 @jroper @darinmorrison anecdotal. I certainly didn't know what they meant before I was taught. Same with Monad.

@runT1ME @jroper @darinmorrison So you think it would be ok to call them "foo", "bar", and "baz", so long as you can learn them?

@brikis98 @jroper @darinmorrison I did not say names should be arbitrary, and Monad is not. It is simply unfamiliar.

@runT1ME Simon Peyton Jones said as much himself: "Our biggest mistake was using the scary term monad". http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers/haskell-retrospective/HaskellRetrospective.pdf … …

@brikis98 @runT1ME He is wrong. The problem is scared people, like yourself, who cannot be appeased by any means.

@dibblego @runT1ME Scared people? Appeased? Yikes. Does the lambda user icon give you a superiority complex or is it the other way around?

@strlen @dibblego @brikis98 @strlen part of the issue can be those explaining a CT term using other CT terms, not really helping.
