For words that may have variant spellings, such as &#8220;judgment&#8221; and &#8220;judgement,&#8221; American business supervisors and editors will change &#8220;judgement&#8221; to &#8220;judgment&#8221; in all cases, possibly believing that the writer is ignorant of standard spelling conventions. British business people may change &#8220;judgment&#8221; to &#8220;judgement.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Take the test, and see how well you do.<\/p>\n<p><small><a title=\"Attribution-NoDerivs License\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nd\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><a title=\"Attribution-NoDerivs License\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nd\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nyoatrader.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/photo-dropper\/images\/cc.png?resize=16%2C16\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" align=\"absmiddle\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.photodropper.com\/photos\/\" target=\"_blank\">photo<\/a> credit: <a title=\"garybirnie.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28209254@N08\/2800085787\/\" target=\"_blank\">garybirnie.com<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quotebig\">\n<dl>\n<dt>Don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;re a kleptomaniac, you can always take something for it.<\/dt>\n<dd class=\"author\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.quotationspage.com\/quotes\/Unknown\/\">Unknown<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Quotations by unknown authors <\/em><\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So how good are you at spelling?
