Quote:
In the context of the law, however, judgment is preferred. This spelling change contrasts with other similar spelling changes made in American English, which were rejected in the UK. In the US at least, judgment is still preferred and judgement is considered incorrect by many American style guides. As with many such spelling differences, both forms are equally acceptable in Canadian English and Australian English. In New Zealand English the form judgment is the preferred spelling in dictionaries, newspapers and legislation, although the variant judgement can also be found in all three categories. From the Wikipedia. (Emphasis added) If you wish to affect a British style of writing, then that is fine. It is like the people who write "favour" or "colour." It is an affection (like Madonna speaking with a pseudo British accent because she thinks that it makes her sound smarter). Standard American English use, however, still calls for judgment, sans the "e" after the "g."
