    I believe that “demon” and “daemon” both share the same pronunciation. “day-mun” is technically incorrect, though still widely accepted.

      English carries a lot of information in vowels, making it concise.

      In this case, it’s natural for English speakers to pronounce words with different meanings differently, to disambiguate them.
