"Was just reading up a little more on the whole damned thing and I have changed my mind."
--"just like a woman--

OK, I wasn't really even thinking of that damned one, more the punctuation, but yeah, I think it could go either way. Using it as part of the vernacular, such as "That's some damn fine soup you got there." "She is a damn fine woman." In such uses it is more of an interjection (verb), but in formal writing one would use the "damned" (adjective) as a character quality. That is to say, the person is in fact "damned", in a similar way that one would be "condemned".
Do you concur?

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
