Hello,

If my sources are to be believed, the following clip contains Simon Peyton Jones saying 'Haskell' several times.

http://www.n-heptane.com/nhlab/spj-haskell.wav

I have listened to Simon (and other equally sage folks) say "Haskell" on a few occasions and I believe that it's more like what I tried to render in text. Perhaps you've listened equally carefully but disagree; perhaps neither of us is wrong. the English language is weird that way.

I suppose you would really want to ask Haskell Curry how *he* pronounced his name, but it's a bit late for that.

I should really read more carefully -- I see now that you weren't trying to disagree with me by posting that clip, but the person who *did* disagree with me was also named "Jeremy". How confusing.
