Damn. Nice pickup!

 

Does it bother anyone else, that the word "damn" ends with an "n"?

 

Yes as well as the fact opossum is pronounced possum. What was the point?

 

Well, the point is. Opossum is correct. Damn is correct. Possum is not correct. Just slang.

I hope you did not take my initial comment about the word, as a slight towards you in any way. It was not meant to be. I was just commenting on a word that I believe is an oddity in the English language. I have used it many times on this forum, exactly as you used it. I probably should not have quoted you. My bad, I guess.

not that anyone but me cares, but "possum" refers to a bunch of different species of marsupials in australia. "oppossum" refers to a bunch of different species of marsupials living not in australia. but i grew up in the south, so they are just all possums anyway. so neither of them is slang, they just get used incorrectly a lot.

 

i love the conversations here.
