Because they mean two different things.

How can that possibly bug the shit out of you? All they had to do was spell it as "demon" from the start if that's what they wanted.

It's pronounced "demon", like "demon", but everyone pronounces it "daymon", which bugs the SHIT outta me. But you get a pass, because you are a dear, cherished friend.

Well how do you pronounce it, dickcheese?

Thanks. Now, back to the topic!

What was the topic?

Fine. day-mon, emphasis on the first syllable. That is what I would say.

Yeah this boggles the mind. The first word of GIF is "Graphics" so it doesn't make any sense to me to pronounce the G like Jeffery. Are people really saying N.E.S. like "Ness"?

It would only be like that if I also provided the Cambridge dictionary's UK and US pronunciations of the word along with its phonetic spelling, otherwise it would be nothing like the example you provided.

How could you have worked in the IT field for decades and never heard someone say "daemon".

Re: daemon oddness

by Ice Cream Jonsey » Mon Aug 13, 2018 8:52 pm

I don't know how else to explain it - having never heard the word said out loud in this context, I would have no pronunciation for it.

It's like asking how I would say, "Zbeqbzx."

Rhymes with Ænima.

Daemon is the southern word for demon.

I'm not asking how it should be pronounced. I was asking how ICJ would pronounce it.

It's actually just a spelling variant of "demon" and is pronounced the exact same way:

phonetically: /ˈdēmən/
