misspelling "judgment." It only has one "e."

I have become so angry that I now fear for the safety of my soul. Please stop.

…of trollery was an inability to manage the fundamentals of English spelling. We used to pile on with comments like “Spel-Chekr is yore frend” and other unkind things. Periodically the risible photo of a guy with a mullet and protest sign saying “Get a Brain Morans” still gets posted.

However, I date the beginning of our surrender to the widespread adoption of texting from cell phones. Tiny screen, even tinier keyboard area, and unreliable weaponized spell-correction programs all mitigated against anyone’s ability to be consistent.

It isn’t worth more than a sigh any more.

See, e.g.,

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/judgment
judgment
noun
judg·​ment ˈjəj-mənt
variants or judgement


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_(law)
Spelling
See also: American and British English spelling differences

Judgment is considered a "free variation" word, and the use of either judgment or judgement (with an e) is considered acceptable.[4] This variation arises depending on the country and the use of the word in a legal or non-legal context. British, Australian, New Zealand, American, and Canadian English generally use judgment when referring to a court's formal ruling.[5][6] Judgement is commonly used in the United Kingdom when referring to a non-legal decision.[7] Translations from non-English texts demonstrate varied spelling of the word. For instance, the English translation of France's Code of Civil Procedure uses "judgement" throughout.[8]


As for the world,
https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/judgment
judgment noun
or chiefly British judgement



It's a page full of toons; smile!

I hadn't really thought of the contradiction of the effort to save the lives of a few wealthy white people. My shame.
