What English word would you use to describe a particular example of a type constructor, in the sense that `List[Int]` and `List[String]` are examples of `List`s? I'd like to avoid calling them "examples" if possible.

The verb would be "construct" since Listbis a type constructor. Maybe you're overthinking this a little bit
Ah, but constructors construct values, too! And I don't want to suggest I'm constructing an instance of a particular type... And also, I don't want to introduce type constructors explicitly yet. They will come some time after the lesson on monads that I'm writing now... ;)

Ah I see. Good luck then

It probably won't be a surprise that the Monads lesson has been the hardest to write so far!
