As everyone is now going to start going on about Judgment day, can we please make sure it is JUDGMENT day and not judgEment day. JUDGMENT is correct and judgEment is just wrong and ugly. It's one of those words that has only elbowed its way into common currency through sheer repetition of the mistake. People think "Judge", and haven't the wit or edukashun to lose the extra e before a consonant.
And I don't give a shiit how many dictionaries disagree, I'm 100% right so fsck them all!

I appreciate the effort but if I can use it in a sentence then I'll use my own judgement on how best to convey it. Cheers.

Actually I don't object to that usage.

"I'll use my own judgement" means that you will form your own opinion.

"I'll use my own judgment" looks wrong, because it alludes to a formal decision, as in a court of law, and (unless you had got one) thus makes no sense.

"Judgment Day" is when the verdict is announced.

"Judgement Day" would be some sort of weird day where everybody wanders around telling everyone what they think.

I can assure you that unless it's azure it's very like me not to read the small print.
