If you follow that link to amazon I think you'll see why KQ probably changed it--they have it wrong there.

Actually are you sure the book company doesn't have it wrong? The Library of Congress has it "judgment" too: http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=1&ti=1,1&FT=james+blish+day+after&PID=15017&CNT=25+records+per+screen&SEQ=20011014130051&SID=4

But oh well. So both are coomon. It's not an issue unless you want an entry on it, then a #REDIRECT from one to the other should probably keep people happy.




I think its a matter of english/american spelling: the English (Penguin books, 1974) paperback that I have has it as judgement, as does the 1st edition of the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (ed. Peter Nicholls & John Clute, both english). It's not worth the argument really, I'll just go and correct a detail i got wrong instead -- Malcolm Farmer
