Maybe its just me, and I don't know which one is correct, but I think I see it being missused a lot on here, and it annoys the shit out of me. Here is an example from the APP State game thread talking about their QB.

Quote :

"Edwards is just so damned fast. His acceleration is unreal "

The other examples are pretty much the same, I have come across them on a daily basis. Am I wrong here and just dont know the difference between the two, or is this another case of people using the wrong word. IE their vs there.

You don't know which is correct, yet it bothers you? Does not compute.

you are a moron






and that has nothing to do with this thread or damn/damned

12/14/2007 8:12:25 PM

the dam QB threw the ball off the Hoover damn

Well I am assuming that the correct one is damn. But since I see it so often the other way, thats why I am wondering.

Or dam, what the fuck ever, you get the point.

I think you are under the assumption that the general public has a fucking clue

I haven't seen anyone called out for a damn/damned mixup.... So don't worry about it.


I have seen people stroke out over their/there and your/you're on here..

You don't know the difference. Damn is a verb. Damned is not.

You are a damned fool.
Damn the torpedoes.
