Fourteen years ago, I misspelled the word "government" on a clerical exam.

Since then, I doubt I've misspelled it more than a handful of times, because whenever I write "government" or "governmental", I check the spelling at least a dozen times before I move on. (I've also gotten in the habit of pronouncing the first n, at least in my head when I'm writing.)

So you're telling me there's no judgement yet on the spelling of judgment.

It's a judg[e]ment call.

Perfect.


Now I want a T-shirt:

Spelling: It's really just a judg[e]ment call.
