Rush to Judgment

Watching a few movies, I started to notice a misspelled word.

  • Judgement SP
  • Correct Spelling! Judgment.
  • How did this happen?
"Judgment" has stood the test of history, bravely resisting the nefarious "e" that some have tried to insert into its wholesome midriff. But in recent years, an insurgency has developed that offends not only the integrity of this humble word, but the sensibility of the English language itself. This insurgency consists of uninformed individuals, bad spellers, stupid people, and [is rumored to contain] Communists, social outcasts, Vegetarians, and Californians.
Those who wish to spell "judgment" as"judgement" seek not just to divide the word with their detestable letter "e." It goes much deeper than that: Indeed, those depraved souls seek to divide the world itself, driving a wedge between the fibrous moral virtues upon which it now teeters so precariously.

Interesting, the twists and turns in our English culture.
