but the signature banner uses "damn" incorrectly. "Damn" is a verb, so using it in this manner: "Type out your damn words," is incorrect. It should be: "Type out your damned words."

Thank you for your time.

I think damn can also be used as an adjective(?). Therefore, both ways would be correct.

In Dictionary.com's entry, there's an entry at the bottom that shows that "damn" can be used as an adjective.

*nods* I never did trust the public school system, at least in my area.

Well (please excuse me, I am not very good) I believe that 'damn' could be a verb because of old English, example; And thou shalt be damned, God has the power to damn those who... ect. So really the underline question is:
Who gives a s**t? I thought it was neat to see that banner, its one thing to point out the mistake, but don't be a book smart b***h. Thank you for your time.
(Lets not speak of the fact that you stole my line evil )

I think it is fine because we are bugged about not typing words in a good way, not really the nitty-griddy grammer thing. At least me anyway. (most of the time)

The school system's been teaching you how to swear properly? xd

Anyway, it HAS been brought up before.

I say that either way, it's fine. Since I think "damn" can be used as an adjective, I use it like it's an adjective.

your you're

"Damn" is just like my favorite f-bomb; it can be used in so many different ways, all of which are proper.
