JUDGEMENT |
 |
JUDGMENT |
In Great Britain and many of its former colonies, "judgement" is still the correct spelling; but ever since Daniel Webster decreed the first E superfluous, Americans have omitted it. Many of Webster's crotchets have faded away (each year fewer people use the spelling "theater," for instance); but even the producers of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, chose the traditional American spelling. If you write "judgement" you should also write "colour," "tyre," and "gaol."
