View Full Version : Is it dammit or damnit? RainMan 03-01-2003, 01:16 PM Which of the two is the correct spelling? I think it's damnit. U? Kay Scarpetta 03-01-2003, 01:22 PM It's "damnit", damnit! It bugs me when people write "dammit". Mysty Eyes 03-01-2003, 01:29 PM Hmm... it's not in my dictionary with either spelling! :lol: I guess that the "n" version is probably correct, as that is how you spell the word. But "dammit" is less offensive perhaps, since the word is being modified, and thus softened. I usually use "dammit" whether or not it is correct. It's easier to type, at the very least. ;) Babes_Cat 03-01-2003, 01:31 PM Damnit. Janice 03-01-2003, 01:37 PM I think it's damn it...as in damn you, damn him, etc. If I was going to abbreviate it, I'd combine the two words and write damnit.

Yeah, Karly should know...:lol: Actually "damit" is the German word for "therefore". I was listening to an old recording of one of Hitler's speeches over 20 years ago and he started a sentence or clause with "Und damit", meaning "and therefore..." Other than that, my knowledge of Deutsh is limited. Ich nicht kinnen...:confused: ABlairican Pie 03-01-2003, 02:30 PM I prefer it to be two words, DAMN IT. How can it be a cuss-word when preachers use it all the time in reference to people going to hell?:confused: fr00ti 03-01-2003, 02:45 PM damnit! Mossopp 03-01-2003, 04:21 PM According to Blink 182 it's 'Dammit'. :D Cool song. Sitcomwriter 03-01-2003, 04:40 PM There are 2 correct spelling.There's dammit and damn it. DetectiveGriffin 03-01-2003, 05:31 PM "Dammit!" is the colloquial use and Damn It! is the technically correct form. you see the first a lot in novels and whatnot, maybe even closed captioning.

My answer is similar to that. In stories and such it would be dammit for the same reason they write 'goddamn' when a character says that. ¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 03-01-2003, 07:57 PM Damnit. If you're going to spell something, you might as well spell it right. *PinkLady* 03-01-2003, 09:45 PM I think it's damnit. I don't spell it that way though; I spell it as two words. I always thought w/two words was the correct way. |
