Damned is really only common in North America, so we used the more common damn.
- joezydeco 17y agoWe use both in North America. "damn" as a verb (curse, reject, denounce) and "damned" as an adjective (hated, revolting).
- lleger 17y agoRight. I used both in the original copy. But elsewhere, damn is used as both.
- crux 17y agoIn North America, 'damned [noun]' is a marked usage. 'That damn cat' is considerably more common—more common in writing, and moreso in speech.
- joezydeco 17y agoI'll stick with my babe Lady Macbeth and use "damned", thanks for the input.
