Who's saying Demond? I've never said demond. I don't even know what the word means.

Actually, I have heard people say Demond when they were actually talking about a daemon running on a UNIX server. But I guess that's not what you're on about.

That could be valid if the daemon was called demon, following the standard of suffixing 'd' to a process that runs as a daemon gives "demond" :P

Yeah ok, but only in that one pacific circumstance.

This. And anywhere the word "demon" is used

A mate says "Demond Tweeks"

Presumably when he's 'brought' something from them...

Rediculous thread.

[OzzyR1]

I occasionally work with a chap who uses the word chimbley instead of chimney.

While I know that this pronunciation is perfectly valid, I can't help but see it as very strange.


NB. He is an M&E engineer so it does come up more often than usual - using old "chimbleys" as a way of venting systems to roof level etc.

You can excape it if you aks nicely.

My youngest boy (7) has started adding an extra vowel sound to words whenever possible. For instance bowl becomes bow-ul, wheel is wee-ul, tray is te-ray, home becomes ho-um etc. If you pull him on it he says it properly and looks at you like you're stupid.
I actually think it's quite funny because he's driving his mum mad with it.

Your son is from Norn Iron. He will grow up to be a "fillum" director.

That makes me want to scream. It's in the same category as 'definately'.

Out of interest how is daemon pronounced? Day-mon? Dee-mon?

I have a colleague who says pacific but writes specific, surprisingly annoying.

[CB2152]

And "defiantly" instead of "definitely".

Used to have a friend who referred to a widely used measurement of speed as "miles per nour" and when we played pool instead of potting a ball he would "plot" it...
