Moni 07-29-2002 08:10 PM

Satan would know. lol

I believe that demon and daemon are both correct.

I also go for Demon and Daemon...I've never seen or heard anyone say Deamon...

<font color = lightgreen>I have always used "demon" myself, but since they were described as chaotic evil I always preferred devils (they are lawful evil). Too much information... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Anyway, deamon is an incorrect spelling. Demon and daemon are equivalent spellings; it doesn't matter which one is used.</font>

I believe the correct spelling you are looking for is "Lawyer"

Demon, or Daemon. I think traditionall D&D pronounces it Daemon, but i think Daemon is different from Demon. Could be wrong.
