Your comments are BS for several reasons: 1) Before the tattoo is started the artist stencils it onto you so you can see what it's like, you would've noticed because everyone takes time to look at it. Yeah, and this process usually doesn't include putting your SHIRT back on to see what it looks like under your clothing. 2) A large tattoo running down your spine CANNOT be completed in one sitting, in fact only a third, if that, could be completed in one sitting. Says who? 3) You can always go back and get touch ups or a fix at the very least for a very reasonable price if there's a mistake or a problem after healing. What does that have to do with anything?

he spelled it right, actually. damn, not damm. nice try, though. you might try spelling things correctly yourself before you correct others.

lissa_love, when you write damn as one word, you spell it "damn". Or even as two separate words, "damn it". But when spelled together (slang) it's better known as "dammit". That doesn't mean that individually it's spelled "damm". Nice try though, you might try learning how things are spelled before correcting other.

i'm sorry, i don't speak slang. however, assuming the op just decided not to use a space (as it is, after all, used as a name), damnit would be perfectly correct as well. i was only frustrated because people who comment choose to pick on the op in the oddest ways. and, i'm sorry, but if someone is going to replace "you" with "u", they shouldn't be correcting someone else's spelling.

Wow, way to be a bitch... It can be dammit, its just an alteration. :) I believe that is the correct way to use this, and yes, Damewolf, English is my first language, but thats not really something they teach you in elementary school now is it? Or even high school, and if your teachers taught you that, well, clearly you had a much different education than I did. (I went to a public school...)

Wait, I'm A BITCH?????????????

I don't know where #118 got "bitchy" from; #104 sounded like a legitimate question to me.

118 was obviously replying to 105

#105 is nowhere near this thread.

That's because # 105 got deleted.

Technically speaking, it SHOULD be "damn it." "it" is recieving the action of damning. However "dammit" is more... eh... "correct"... than "damnit"

You KNOW WHAT?????? Considering the fact that flyingtoasters and damegreywulf are two of my favorite posters on this site, I'm actually pretty sad that my question (WHICH WAS NOT IN ANY WAY MEANT TO BE SARCASTIC OR CONDESCENDING) has kinda blown up. So I'm gonna go cry now. =)

"Some one" is pronounced the same as "someone". "Every thing" is pronounced the same as "everything". There's no reason "damnit" should be pronounced any differently than "damn it". It's just a compound word. Anyway, the legitimacy of a slang term is pretty much solely determined by the frequency of its use. "Damnit" and "dammit" are both used and accepted. However, I'd like to propose that "damnit" makes far more sense because it more closely fits the structure of compound words in the English language. The vast majority of them remain unchanged from their original spelling. I can't even think of one that doesn't. I can appreciate progress and change in language, but not when said change is completely arbitrary.
