I understand that etymologically, it makes perfect sense to pronounce daemon the same as demon because it's the same word. But I'll never stop pronouncing it day- instead of dee-, as if it's a Ferengi captain.
I pronounce it like the German word for demon, Dämon [ˈdeːmɔn] 🔊 because daemon is how Germans would write the word in lowercase ASCII.
I pronounce it da-eh-mon in my head, it sounds more old-timey than "dee-mon".
Is that because you have a daemon in your brain, swapping neurons to force you to pronounce it wrong?
More likely a DaiMon using a thought maker.
How do you pronounce denut?
