I've been pronouncing monad like gonad (moh-nad), but it occurs to me
that it might be pronounced like monoid (mah-nad).
Is there an official way to pronouce this word - maybe with a Scottish
accent? :)

Hahahah, it's pronounced the way you've been saying it =)

You say monoid mah-nad? I've always said mon-oyd, to rhyme with void or annoyed.

This reminds me of a joke (which depends on recognizing a connection
between monads,
continuations, control, and goto statements):
Q: What do you get when you cross a monad with a continuation?
A: A gonad.

Hmm... I always assumed it was like mon-ad. (Once I finally stopped
saying mon-and by mistake!) But I don't know how you're really
supposed to say it...
Hi
A more pressing question. How do you pronounce the following:
-
to
-
from, or drawn from for list comprehensions.

In reality, if you want to talk Haskell and are in person, grab a
whiteboard. If you are over IRC or email, don't worry.
Thanks

Although I hate to resort to dictionaries, curiosity got the better
of me and I find the following.
According to both Merriam Webster and the OED, monad is indeed
pronounced exactly like gonad. BUT, in the UK at least, there is
more than way to pronounce gonad, so it doesn't necessarily

More curiosely, that (=) function. Why is the Haskell name for it
(=), and why is it pronounced bind? Neither of these choices make a
lot of sense to me...

For the correct pronunciation of = see
I cringe to post to a thread with this subject line, but no American
mathematician I know would call it Moe-nad.
I think the US math consensus is Mon - ad, where mon is like the
faux-jamaican Hey, mon, or (more to the point) monoid or monomorphism.

In both case expressions and lambdas I would not read this if it could be
decided by context and vocal dynamics (like the way most people pronounce
parenthesized arithmetic expressions), for cases is would work

I don't know the answer, but it seems okay to me because I think of
monads as
