I've always pronounced daemon as "day-mun", as opposed to "dee-mun" (for demon). Then i played Cyberpunk 2077 and they're calling daemons "dee-muns" and I'm beginning to doubt myself
I say daymon for daemon but that's mostly because the only time I'm talking about daemons is in the context of computers, and not the archaic or "fancy" spelling for demon.
ahhhhhhhhh! fighter of the nightmon
I love that while reading the post you replied to, the first thought you had was about the dayman and nightman purely based on the word "daemon". Maybe people are meant to be silly
I believe that "demon" and "daemon" both share the same pronunciation. "day-mun" is technically incorrect, though still widely accepted.
no widely accepted pronounciation is incorrect
archaeology, orthopaedics, paediatrics, encyclopaedia, etc.
Those last 3 aren’t American English
so? where do you think English came from?
English carries a lot of information in vowels, making it concise.
In this case, it’s natural for English speakers to pronounce words with different meanings differently, to disambiguate them.
I think you're right when saying "day-mun" for daemon as my language, Basque, uses the term "daimon" when referring to service daemons in software engineering, which is taken from the pronunciation in English.
Well in German you call a demon a Dämon. However the ä is also spelled as ae if the keyboard doesn't have the letter. So basically daemon is German dämon. And I pronounce it like that.
Should have been "I am not a Demon, I am a Daemon. I automate processes for you so that you have time to do other stuff like finding a girl friend"

Can a daemon be my girlfriend? 🤔
According to anime, yes.
Next he'll be getting one of these 
I know a couple of girls who would be down to date a guy who summons demons
At least next time, he can burn his rival's house down.
with a lemon?
"When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
- Cave Johnson, Portal 2
Wasn't the lemon one not a calligraphy joke about a wizard who mistake demon with lemon.
Imagine having a lisp and summoning a Devon
