It's DAMMIT not DAMNIT, DAMMIT!

Dammit. Why can't people learn that it's dammit, not damnit. Whenever I see some idiot hoser write out damnit I think, goddammit, what the hell? I have no idea if there are any rules here, there very well may be, I could care less, but there is definitely a preference. That preference is for dammit, dammit.

See, it's like this. If you want to say damn then you say damn, not dam, unless you want to talk about a dam. If an object is there, and you do not care for it, for whatever reason, and you somehow wish damnation upon said object, then you damn it. However, let's suppose you smack your finger with a damn hammer, then you say dammit! If you want that hammer to go to hell, then you damn it. Never, ever, never, do you "damnit". That's just stupid.

When I see "damnit", I pronounce it dam-nit. Because why not? When I see dammit, then I say dammit, and I mean it.
