JUDGEMENT & JUDGMENT

 

First one is British but Americans have omitted it (e).

 

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” and “tyre.”

What Is the Difference Between “Judgement” And “Judgment”?

 

Have you ever seen the word

judgmentspelled two different ways?

 

Sometimes, it appears as we spelled it here (no e),

 and other times it appears with an e: judgement.

 

Which one is correct?

Is judgment spelled with an e?

Well, the short answer is 

that judgment is the prevailing (“dominant”) spelling.

 

Judgment is a noun that has several meanings,

including “the act or instance of judging,”

and “the ability to judge, make a decision,

or form an opinion objectively, authoritatively, and wisely,

especially in matters affecting action.”

 

For example: 

My uncle was a man of good judgment 

and many of us sought his advice.

 

Judgment also has legal definitions

and refers to “a judicial decision given by a judge or court”

or “the obligation, especially 

a debt, arising from a judicial decision.”

 

A judge awards a judgment to a creditor 

that needs to collect money from a debtor.

 

A court can also give a judgment 

in favor or against a defendant, for example.

 

The word judgment was first recorded in English around 1250–1300.

It stems from the Old French word jugement, 

which is based on jugier (“to judge”) and -ment, 

which is a suffix of nouns denoting an action 

or resulting state (refreshment),

a product (fragment), or means (ornament).

 

Why are there two spellings?

Many think that the difference 

between judgement and judgment is that 

the longer version is the British spelling, 

whereas the shorter one is the US convention. 

 

While some claim that Noah Webster first recorded 

the spelling of judgment in his 1828 American Dictionary 

of the English Language, both sides of the pond 

have actually used the spelling judgment since the late 1600s.

Though judgement (with an e) 

has risen and fallen in popularity in British English, 

judgment remains the preferred spelling in British legal 

proceedings and appears more frequently in written work.

 

Today,  judgement is an accepted spelling in British English.

But, if you stick to judgment, 

you won’t be judged in the UK or the US.

Did You Know?

Judgment can also be spelled "judgement,"

and usage experts have long disagreed 

over which spelling is the preferred one.

 

Henry Fowler asserted, 

"The OED [Oxford English Dictionary] 

prefers the older and more reasonable spelling.

'Judgement' is therefore here recommended." 

 

William Safire held an opposite opinion, 

writing, "My judgment is that Fowler is not to be followed."

 

"Judgement" is in fact the older spelling, 

but it dropped from favor 

and for centuries "judgment" was 

the only spelling to appear in dictionaries. 

 

That changed when the OED (Fowler's source) 

was published showing "judgement" as an equal variant.

 

Today, "judgment" is more popular in the U.S., 

whereas both spellings make a good showing in Britain.
