I tend to avoid the Dæmon Terminology. I use "wei" habitually, and cieday in reference to El's cieday! Because I can't think of a better word to use in reference to that day.

Oh, and I pronounce cieday "sighday". >< Bad habit.

I pronounce it both ways. Same with daemon. In my head. sometimes it'll be 'daymon' and sometimes it'll be 'demon' I try to make it correct if I ever have to say it out loud though.

What is the correct way? *blinks* For cieday and daemon. daemon is day-ee-mon, but the 2nd syllable is stressed to the point that its closer to demon. As for cieday....*shrug*

Dæmon /should/ be day-EE-mon, in my opinion, but I say it DEE-mon. Yeah, "dee-mon" is more "proper" than "day-mon" - even if you often get a negative reaction when trying to explain your invisible companion. ^^' "whoalykomg u talk 2 DEMONS!?11!?/!" Yeesh. I get that all the time.
Cieday, I believe is "KIE-day". Kie like eye, or sigh.

Hmm... I still prefer daymon. ^^ But that's just me. Dayemon... Strange.

Things like "shei"and "hei" and "wei." I don't. Kryii doesn't. We both don't like it. Sorry, Okibi, but like Kryii said: Okay, so I'm special. You give me special pronouns. Next, your Death is special. He gets another set of pronouns. Then your muse; your parents; your siblings; your favorite pet; your best friend; your "soul mate;" your worst enemy-- after all, wouldn't that be something special, too? Where does it end? You give those others "nicknames," wether it is Mum, Uberpoo (Er, my sister. If you were wondering.) , Sweetiepie, F***face: You give me pronouns. OH. BOY.So we do not use them. Sorry, Okibi, yet again, but I honestly think it is a bit silly. However much a part of you they might be, they are still, in the end, simply nouns as far as langauge is concerned. Hey, whatever. I don't take it personally. =) Do you see ME using the special pronouns? It wasn't even my idea! One of my online friends would always type 'wei' when referring to himself and his dæmon to limit confusion, and I put such ideas on my site for those who also might want to use them. And apparently some do. I don't think they're really necessary 99% of the time. I used 'wei' once, when just 'we' actually could have been confusing in the sentence.

Darkett really doesn't like them.. he has an attitude similar to Kyrii's. I'd probably use them when they were really necessary, but we(i) haven't needed to yet.

I don't really like them, it's confusing. Me and Aurora have our own little things goin' on to spite everyone Not really.. but it's fun to say so, hee. I pronounce those words: Daymon and Sighday. And it won't ever change in my head. I don't find it confusing without the grammer, either, I can just use names instead of pronouns.

"Wei" both consider "cieday" something apart from the grammer. It's like CPU and RAM and Mother Board--it is also a noun refering to an idea--coming into existance--and is thus, perfectly applicable in every way. Yeeeee-ay. But the creation of pronouns seems... a bit much, in our opinion. Meh.
At least we understand what y'all are saying when you use them. You want confusing, though? Have the two main characters of a story, deeply in love, and both male. Extra pronouns would be nice at that point... "He leaned forward and brushed his lips with his own."
No. That is beyond confusing... gah... KURUKURU PA DESU YO!

We don't use that grammar. And for cieday, we prefer "the day we met". More personal for us. But why would you need to say wei instead of we? In which context? When I need to explain it, I just say Rester and me.... Don't wan't to spoil your grammar, jus an alternative

Nope. because we can't pronounce it inside our heads. I would say 'we-i' with 2 syllables, Shal thinks it would be said like the word "why". also, i am horribly pedantic, so the verb endings annoy me. i can't have a pronoun ending in 'i' and then the verb "are". it just sounds all horrible. we just say we. or i. or him. or her>>; Its a silent 'i'. Wei is pronounced 'we' and so on. XD
