Thanks for clarifying.  I see now that it was my hyper-British
dictionary choices in Thunderbird which caused me to suggest this change
:).  It also doesn't like "judgment".

FWIW, Wiktionary suggests that this is a US/UK distinction rather than a
traditional/rare distinction, though no doubt both languages bleed into
each other a lot.
