Vampire:
A vampire is a person who does not produce a sufficient amount of pranic or "life" energy, and therefore has a need to consume energy from other sources, in order to remain healthy. This may be from drinking blood, or from draining non-physical energy from another life force. There are two main types of vampires: blood vampires and PSI vampires.
Vampyre:
A vampyre is a vampire who is "immortal" or "ageless". While nothing is really immortal, the Inheritor and Classical vampyres can and do live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

The use of the word Vampyre comes from a series of books by Brian Lumley called Necroscope. I have read the first three books. According to his story Vampyres came from another world. You really have to read the books to understand what I'm trying to say without giving away the story line. If you enjoy reading about vampires & thing that go bump in the nigjht, you will enjoy his writings. In The Necroscope Series there are 13 different books. I am going to try to read them all. To answer your second question. No it doesn't make me more clever. I was just relying a message to some one on 360.

Theres no massive difference they both recommend the same element,. a lengthy time period in the past, (and some human beings nonetheless use the note) vampires were called Vampyre. Now as we talk, they are in many circumstances called Vampire. The Y is dropped, and altered with a I. besides, Theres no massive difference their the same. Vampires grew to change into extremely huge-spread After Dracula got here out, Unfortuantly, in 2008, A e book named ''twilight'' replaced into revealed and now nicely its a shame to the finished vampire historic previous, (Im sorry in case your prepared on TW. that is mine etc evaluations) the most frequently used Vampire sorts are Sang And Psi So, Vampire and Vampyre are the same element.

No as they are pronounced the same. old to middle English. where Y was in use instead of I . until the spelling was changed. My last name is the same way it was original spelled with a Y rather than an I .no big deal in its self. just the evolution of languages and spelling.

It's not really more clever, but if your are refferring to real vampyres than thats what u use. Vampires refers to storybooks, and fairytales. Just like Magick is true magick, while magic is for folktales and fairies and faeries. Its only to decipher what you're talking about...real or fantasy...................................................................... i don't mean to say that they are real and that my best friend is a faery or sumthing but theres Sleeping Beauty fairies and mythilogical type faeries

It was a way for the community of folks who were interested in the supernatural being to differentiate themselves from those who wanted to talk about the ones in movies and books.
It's from the old newsgroups days.

like how people substitute K for C for certain Greek heroes (i.e. Heracles/Herakles)? people do it to appear intellectual to others. on messageboards and blogs, since all you see is what other people write and vice versa, all you can do to distinguish yourself (in a good way) is to be witty or intellectual. it's lame and ridiculous. i should know, i used to be like that when i was younger...until i realized how pointless it was. no one cares.

The same way people say Faeries in stead of Fairies.

No. It's not effective unless you say 'Vampire'.
Why? Were you thinking of asking out a vampire, or something?
