I hate when people spell “DAMMIT” as “DAMNIT”. They’re trying to be correct spellers or something to preserve the integrity of the English language, even in profanity, but, in case they hadn’t noticed, neither dammit nor damnit are actual words. It’s DAMN IT. As in, damn that thing over there that’s pestering me. Two words. Run them together, and it doesn’t quite work the same. Reason being: when I skim over a sentence with “damnit” included, my brain goes “DAM NIT”. Which is fine if we’re talking about a sweater: “That damn knit sweater really itches…” It’s DAMMIT, dammit. It reads better. And if you want to be grammatical about it, put a freaking space between the two and write damn it. It’s like dunno. Or kinda, sorta. Not DONOTKNOW, KINDOF, SORTOF. See my point? IHOPESO.
