About the prestress, that's one of the motivations behind renaming them ("warm fuzzy thing" is the current tongue-in-cheek alternative).
in F# they renamed "Monad" to "Workflow", see e.g. Chapter 9 (p. 230) in the "Expert F#" book. http://www.expert-fsharp.com/default.aspx Also, comparing with C# (Linq notation) might be helpful, http://blogs.msdn.com/lukeh/archive/2007/08/19/monadic-parser-combinators-us... of course keeping in mind that Haskell was first (I think) and the other languages only later adapted the concept.
