My reading of various "grammar" sites was that even though variation exists[*1*], the form without 'e' is the traditionally preferred form, and that is why I said "That too". But let's follow this one: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=judgement%20call%2C%20judgment%20call&cmpt=q which seems to say that with 'e' is more common. [Footnote] *1* To Americans, the form with 'e' is abomination. Wikipedia claims that (1) without 'e' is in legal and (2) with 'e' in other contexts in British (this particular one is a non-legal use), and (3) both are equally acceptable in non-legal contexts in Austraria and Canada. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
