Re: [Haskell-cafe] Monad pronounced like gonad?

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. (I am sure I will hear the groans right through the ethernet! :-) -Paul Tom Harper wrote:

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

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? :)
