How do you spell it?









I don't know if I'm allowed to make a topic like this, but this is a PG-13 site and in PG movies people say dammit all the time, so whatever.

Damn It. Two seperate words.

Obviously, I spell it the first way. If you spell it the second way people think you're saying "damn nit". It just leads to a whole lot of confusion. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Of course!

Dammit, should have put that in the poll too.

who the hell would say dammit. the phrase, spelled correctly, is "damn it", and is put together as one word (damnit). wherever people get the idea that they need to drop the 'n' and add an extra 'm', i don't know.

Damn it! I think you can edit your damn poll, if not, I think a damned moderator can help you.

I can't even edit my own damn poll! If anyone has any suggestions I've got nothing better to do with my damn time.

"Damn it" is the correct spelling.

"Damn it" is the correct spelling.

Not according to the American Heritage Dictionary. It's an alteration, but still accepted.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the link!! I tend to put them together as one word, so I just thought I was spelling it wrong. Good to know it's also correct.

Oh... I feel really stupid right now...Oh dont be silly! It's just not part of everyone's normal vocabulary - nothing to feel stupid about. Plus, it was meant to be a joke, hehe. I'm glad SOMEONE noticed it!! So.. give yourself a pat on the back for being so observant! :)

Do I get extra points for noticing your username is a question or is that too obvious? :winkgrin
