Well damn has its roots as a verb, and as the current vernacular seems to have evolved out of a degredation/casualisation of the term, I believe that the technically correct use of it is to damn something. IE: "damn the weather", "damn this cough", "Work you stupid game! Damn it!"

In modern vernacular though, it exists mainly as a recently evolved phonetic convention; dammit and damnit are about as right for the word as owned and pwnt are for their expressions.

"Dammit" is just a curse in general.

"Damn it" is a curse directed at something.

Since when did you care about spelling?

Aside from that Spyder has the right idea.

Just go Canadian like Rez or Ninja, no one will correct you because canadians are so awesome!

IMO though, I choose Damnit, because I have been taught it has been spelled by that.

I was once told that Canadians ran the streets all night, and that they were boss.

I generally use "dammit" when I don't want to look genuinely angry, otherwise I use two words.
