Judgment. No e. Learn it. Love it. Live it.

Thank you for listening to this very important message.
While I agree with you, I should point out that it appears that Brits spell it "judgement." So there is not an international consensus on this.

I screw this one up all the time. Don't know why, but it just looks weird/wrong without the "e".

If you're getting all technical on misuse of words and language, etc. OP (and yes I'm quibbling because this is an inherently quibble-some post) there's no "nomination" of a word most frequently mis-spelled. It either is or isn't the word most frequently spelled wrong. Why don't you do the leg-work, pore over the posts, and come back with a definitive answer. (I'm kidding, folks...)

Same here. It does!

Either way is correct. After living for years in the UK, and reading British novels, I am often confused by which spelling to use. I can't always remember which one is the American way.

I would say I used that spelling ironically, but that would lead to a whole other discussion....

You just proved YOUR ignorance right there. You realize:

1. Some of us may be from the good old UK.
2. Look up variant.

Ha! "American English"

No way. It's either its/it's or your/you're. They're used incorrectly about half the time on DCUM. Educated people actually don't know the difference.
