I mean, I still call them thieves, but there's nothing wrong with them other than retards keep spelling it 'rouge.'

The real kickers are when people mispronounce the words and act all snooty about it.

Djinn is actually the plural of djinni, not the other way around. Djinni and genie are just different ways of spelling the word, the former more a direct transliteration of the Arabic, the latter more Anglicized. Like Qur'an vs. Koran.

Aluminium doesn't fit. The others are mispronunciation, the other is the pronunciation of a variant spelling found in non-US nations.

It's like the difference between Math and Maths.

>>51429977
Technically speaking Daemon is simply a Latin form of Daimon, which were petty natural spiritual entities.

So dryads, rock spirits, etc.

Aluminium is just fucking wrong. the man who first isolated it name it Aluminum and that's what it fucking is. Some anonymous douche complained it didn't sound fancy enough and you ungrateful English tits went along with it.

Actually he called it alumium, and later changed his mind on it.

Elements change names occasionally, and have different names in different countries. Like Tungsten, Wolfram, and Volfram.

I'm just saying, going with the IUPAC spelling is not wrong, and neither is going with the US one.

They are two spellings for the same substance in two forms of English. It's linguistics.

Because Daemons are an actual thing, more akin to elemental spirits.

>>51431707
Except that the modern word demon comes from daemon which in turn comes from daimon, which ahd neither a positive nor negative connotation

>>51438244
"The Vampyre" is a short work of prose fiction written in 1819 by John William Polidori. The work is often viewed as the progenitor of the romantic vampire genre of fantasy fiction. The work is described by Christopher Frayling as "the first story successfully to fuse the disparate elements of vampirism into a coherent literary genre."

Old English started it and what happened is that we eventually substituted I for Y on our drive towards standardizing the English spelling.

>>51429977
Daemon - a perfectly fine word to use to refer to any number of things depending on RPG. In several it refers to some type of "demonic" entity that isn't a demon.

Rogue - This just has to be bait. To encompass the varied and disparate archetypes that arose from far too narrow thief class, this word was used. It is also a perfectly fien word still in use today, see Rogue One.

Djinni - Are you just triggered by the more accurate transliterated Arabic word that genie came from?

Look, language evolves over time. -mancer a couple centuries ago meant someone who uses rituals of divination in a certain manner. Now it just means a spell caster with a specific theme. This how things are and you can't stop it or fight it, the time for that is long over.

Did you read the first paragraph?

"During the Middle Ages, scholars coined terms for many of these methods — some of which had hitherto been unnamed — in Medieval Latin, very often utilizing the suffix -mantia when the art seemed more mystical (ultimately from Greek mantis, prophet) and the suffix -scopia when the art seemed more scientific..."

As of the last 50 or so years the term has taken on a very different meaning outside academia. Lay people more often associate the word with necromancers and their image in our culture of undead raising dudes. From there the term takes on qualities of denoting a specific theme of spell casting and not divination. Were you to ask a bunch of random people what the word meant, you might get a couple who got it right, but the rest would either not understand or think of necromancers and spellcasting.

And you're really going to use the last time the wiki page has been edited to add another item to the large catalog of terms, of which the vast majority were named centuries ago, as your argument? That's really pathetic and rather stupid.

Interesting you miss out on an actual pronunciation issue with your spelling critique (The I is more accurate, since it would be pronounced with a palatial approximant rather than a voiced palato-alveolar sibilant affricate)

People generally pronounce Zeus as one syllable (Zoos). But it should be two (Zay-ous)

If you'll notice, that rhymes with Deus. For good reason, they're etymologically connected, same with Jupiter (coming from Ious-Pater)
