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" :PActually, 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.

This. And anywhere the word "demon" is usedActually, 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.
A mate says "Demond Tweeks"
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.

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.
