"the spelling judgment is conventional in legal contexts, and in North American English."
Yes I forgot everyone was illiterate because not everyone is a legal professional or American. Your views are honestly coming across to me as bigoted.

And that fancy graph shows that a lot more people use judgement and not judgment, so therefore there's going to be a lot more people complaining that judgment is wrong if we were to change it.And I think you've forgotten that staff are humans too, so of course we are going to make mistakes. Plus for most staff English isn't their first language.
You also have to admit that our grammar is much better than 70% of the people on these forums so stop complaining :)

Not really honestly. For one, you have an error in that. Starting a sentence with and is incorrect. I honestly don't care at all about the grammar, but that's not near true. Maybe 20% of staff actually use somewhat proper grammar.

When I see "Judge" and "ment" and say it together it sounds correct.
When I see "Judgment" I read it as "Jud-g-ment" with a hard d simply because the e isnt there to make it a soft "dg" .. Idk if I'm getting my point across clear enough :< but there u r
As for the apostrophes, okay but who actually cares..? Technically you should put the apostrophe after the word anyway, people mistake this and put it before s sometimes, but we get the idea
Same for than and then, it's just a fkin misspelling, eventually they'll learn. The staff don't all have english as their first language and some are quite young, so chill..

Anyways the forums shouldn't be filled with these sort of discussions because it just makes everyone argue with one another thinking they're right because they've been taught that way. That's why I'm just going to stop talking in this thread

oh, either way, theres 2-3 errors i still was able to find. but thats beside the point. what I wanted to say is that staff don't use correct grammar most of the time

This may be the single stupidest argument over semantics I've ever seen on this forum, and that's saying somethingLast edited on 25 May 2016 - 10:08 AM by *deleted-96553
