This makes me wonder how people pronounce "Pascal". It's probably because
I'm from Europe, but I put the stress on the second syllable. Pronouncing
it like "rascal" is, well, funny :-).
For whatever it's worth, I'm American and have mainly heard Americans
pronounce it with the stress on the second syllable -- however, when I
mention programming in Haskell to other Americans, I get the "oh, you
mean Pascal?" response sometimes too, even though I pronounce
"Haskell" with the stress on the first syllable. I'm not sure why,
since it's not as if anyone programs in Pascal anymore.
Cheers,
Kirsten
