It was always “demon” (spelled daemon or dæmon), as in a spiritual attendant. Christian mythology has poisoned the word, and anyone who says “daymon” to not offend them is a coward.
You’re wrong. I say them both day-mon. Because they are the fucking same. That’s not a pun. It’s just one of the things they handle delivering to those who want that stuff.
Xtians are fucking evil. Evil was never and will never be real even though Daemons are. They’re imagining evil and going fucking Tenet.
Yeah. Tgat movie. That’s them. They did that. Go cry, Stan. You fucking CIA cartoon.
It’s still not and never will be real beyond their imagination.
While offending Christians is welcome in this day and age, the marked Latin and Greek history of the word, originating as “daímōn” with an ‘a’, and the fact that ‘æ’ exists, both make “dæmon” a cool enough spelling that I’m keeping it, and the fancier spelling helps keeping safe and separate from the christofascist corruption of the word for when I am more in mind of the mechanics and purposes rather than having to be a soldier in someone else’s cultural war.
I say daymon not to avoid offence, but since it sounds cooler than demon.
A demon sounds like a fiend that has only been around for at most a few hundred years, but a daemon sounds like it has been around for a few thousand so it is much more dangerous.

Edit: When I say it was always pronounced “demon”, I mean the nerds who started calling a small background program daemon pronounced it “demon”.

Calm your tits (meaning your birds), I say “daymon”, and I relish any opportunity to offend the overly devout.
My reason is simple: I learned the word by reading it and sounding it out, and that’s more badass than “haha I say demon because I’m edgy”
