Hi,
Actually, the more I think of it, the more I think we should rename the language altogether. It seems like people say "Haskell" with stress on the first syllable if they were either on the committee or learned it inside academia, and "Haskell" with stress on the second syllable if they learned it from online sources. And we really don't need more pronunciation-based class distinctions.
If you'd all speak West-Flemish, the problem would solve itself :-) We say Haskul - Has(lle)ul(cer) At least, that what I think the Oxford dictionary means with its pronounciation description. Maybe we can claim it should be 'has kell', where kell is something cool, and no cornflakes. It has kell. -- Andy
