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 :-)
Didn't this discussion originally start out as a warning not to say "If you'd all speak [or program in] _____, the problem would solve itself"? :-) Cheers, Kirsten -- Kirsten Chevalier* chevalier@alum.wellesley.edu *Often in error, never in doubt "What you call 'lying', other people would call 'abstraction'." -- Alex Aiken
