A small confession: this post is for me as much as it is for anyone reading this.  I can never seem to remember the correct spelling of the word “judgment.”  I admit to having come dangerously close on many occasions to being an offender of the worst kind in writing “judgement,” but thankfully spell-check catches this one!

In the (rare) event that I do not have spell-check, the Internet, or a dictionary at my disposal and need to pen the word in question, I have devised a small memory aid to assist in solving my dilemma.  It may appear childish, but I assure you that it is quite effective in removing the risk of a faux-pas I would hate to be caught making.  I tell myself to “eat the ‘e’ in ‘judge’ when bringing judgment…”  Laugh if you must, but it does the job!

Whatever tricks you must employ to help you remember the correct spelling, don’t write “judgement” instead of judgment.  And if you really can’t remember, be grateful that you can trust spell-check to set you straight on this one
