Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

I would imagine this is a "I heard it pronounced, and assumed that's how it was spelled" situation (rather than intentional engagement bait, at least just this once). British english pronounces it the way it is spelled, closer to DAY-it-ee, while american english butchers it to pronounce it how it was misspelled, something like DEE-ye-tee.
