      Here’s a more important question: Who’s out there elongating the N sound on “damn”?

        I don’t know I was just trying to emulate the original post but they did the M. really it should be the A that is elongated.

            Now that you say it, I often see people write “hereeeeee” or “lameeeee” to make the vowel sound longer, which never made sense to me. Maybe they repeat the last letter, even if it’s silent, because it doesn’t interrupt the flow of their writing as much as extra letters in the middle of a word?
