| Comment | David, I make it 'dammit'-okay, 'damn it' (2 words) okay, 'damnit' not okay.
It's been around for 150 years, is in the Oxford (OAD 2001), is marked as an exclamation (but not colloquial, not italicized, not vulgar). However it's not in Webster's 9th (1984, collegiate), Am. Heritage (1969), or Webster's New Int'l 2nd (1954).
But, dammit, I say, if you want to use it, use it, and don't let anyone's damning its usage stop you! |
