| 词组 | judgment, judgement |
| 释义 | judgment, judgement Both ways to spell this word have been in use for centuries. Judgment was once the only spelling shown in dictionaries, but that changed with the publication of the OED, in which judgment and judgement are treated as equal variants. Most dictionaries now show both spellings. Usage commentators generally allow that both are acceptable, but the Americans among them tend to prefer judgment while the British preference is for judgement. Our own most recent evidence shows judgment leading judgement in American sources by a ratio of about 2 to 1. Our British evidence has judgement out in front by about 3 to 2. This evidence does not constitute a perfect, scientific sampling of current usage, but it does show clearly that both spellings are in reputable use on both sides of the Atlantic. It also supports the general observation that judgment is more common in the U.S. and judgement more common in Britain. |
