But that doesn't mean we should call Monoid Appendable.
Appendable is just misleading, since Monoid is more general than
appending.
Then why does it have a member named 'mappend'? :-)

Good question. The names of the methods of the Monoid class are
inappropriate.
My personal preference would be:
class Monoid m where
zero :: m
(++) :: m -> m -> m
(in the Prelude of course)
