The reason your country has different spelling for certain words is because its founders were stupid and couldn't spell. (Looks at Ireland and south west England).

Wow, the post went from discussing an Opeth song to arguing about the English language & Americans butchering words

steck ihn nei!
from wikipedia:
"Traditionally, the word has been spelled judgment in all forms of the English language. However, the spelling judgement (with e added) largely replaced judgment in the United Kingdom in a non-legal context. In the context of the law, however, judgment is preferred. This spelling change contrasts with other similar spelling changes made in American English, which were rejected in the UK. In the US at least, judgment is still preferred and judgement is considered incorrect by many American style guides. As with many such spelling differences, both forms are equally acceptable in Canadian English and Australian English. In New Zealand English the form judgment is the preferred spelling in dictionaries, newspapers and legislation, although the variant judgement can also be found in all three categories."

so in this case the Americans still use the correct form and the British 'butchered' the word...

Though A Fair Judgement is underrated, its definitly not Mike's best solo. Hours of Wealth is better example I think. There are many more that I like, would have to compare them, and im too busy listening to Camel right now.
