Judgement or judgment?

[merithyn]

Max and I are in disagreement over the spelling of the above word. So, as any intelligent married couple will do, we'll leave it to Languish to decide who is correct.

I write judgement.

[Barrister]

It is obviously judgement and anyone who thinks different is stupid and should feel bad.

[ulmont]

Barrister is stupid and should feel bad.  And my degree is a doctorate, while he just has two bachelor's degrees...

...but that having been said, I write judgement as well but I don't get hung up on it.

[jimmy olsen]

I almost always vehemently argue for the American spelling, but I can't do it this time.

Judgement all the way!

What's important is not the level, but the subject. You can take a PhD in, say, history any day - my bachelor's of law is better.

Are you an American or not, dammit? Then you already know the answer.

Both are correct, but I always went with 'judgment' because it looks wrong to some people and occasionally someone will try to correct it.

Which is why, no matter how much you want to, you can't use "theatre", "endeavour" or any number of appropriate words from the Queen's English.  ZOMG YOU SPELLED THEATER WRONG

You'll get a kick out of this:  I was filling out an online application not too long ago, and one question had "fundamental principals of such and such" instead of "fundamental principles of such and such";  I was so torn...should I use the correct "principles" and make the HR tard look dumb--or even worse, look wrong to them while being right--or do I stick with "principals" and possibly get gigged for misuse from somebody who knows the difference, and look like a moron?

After about 20 minutes, I decided to use "concepts".  Fuck it.

If a place cannot tell the difference between a principle and a principal then it's probably not a place where you want to be working.

[Sheilbh]

Judgement.  Didn't know anyone used judgment.

[Eddie Teach]

I almost always vehemently argue for the American spelling, but I can't do it this time.

I'd probably use judgment just to be "right" but I agree judgement looks better.

End of discussion.
