OK, I’m not really asking. I think “dammit” is far superior to “damnit.” “Dammit” is phonetic and looks like it sounds. When I see “damnit” I always pronounce the “n” even though I know better. Yes, “dammit” is slang for “damn it” but when you glue them together into one word I strongly suggest “dammit.” I got to thinking about it when I saw John August use “damnit” in a recent post and thought it was a strange choice for a professional screenwriter. Maybe there’s something I don’t know?

(For what it’s worth, Merriam-Webster and American Heritage both have entries for “dammit” but I can’t find any dictionary with an entry for “damnit” so maybe it’s not a matter of style after all.)
