And so, the Haskell mailing list is currently lit up with a discussion 
about terminology.

Specifically, somebody wrote in a blog that he was looking for something 
called "Appendable", but it turns out it's actually called "Monoid". 
Unsurprisingly, the author added "Haskell, *please* stop letting 
category theorists name things!"

But you see, some people apparently don't think this is a problem. (!!)

Words fail me... It's like somebody using a chainsaw to slice a loaf of 
bread, and seeing absolutely nothing wrong with doing so. What do you 
*say* to someone like that?! >_<
