(I really hope 'no stupid questions' holds here) I'm not even going to try framing this into a weighty or practical question; how do you pronounce the <$> and <*> Applicative functions?

Hey Max, <$> is 'mapped to', <*> is 'applied' or 'applied over', f <$> a <*> b -- reads "f mapped to a applied over b", -- but I guess it's more idiomatic and -- clear to say you are 'lifting' -- function f
Not a stupid question at all!
<$> is fmap (literally it is just an operator version of Functor's fmap)
<*> is ap (although ap may still be specialized to Monad rather than
Applicative, it is the same operation)
