Can somebody please take the time to explain to me the difference between DemiGog and Demigod, I have seen them both used in sorta the same reference many times so I am kinda curious if they are different or what?
Got any domains to sell?

Well, for starts, it's demigod and demagogue. So you can see straight away that they are going to have entirely different meanings.
Demi meaning half, and god being rather self explanatory. A demigod is the offspring of a mortal and a god.
Demagogue is from the greek word Demagogos; a leader of the people. Demos, the people and Agosos, leading or one who leads.
