Anyone else surprised by the questionable spelling choice? 'Judgement' is a valid spelling, but only in UK and Australian English; and even in the UK, formal or traditional texts continue to use 'judgment' (e.g., Bible, legal docs). The spelling is always 'judgment' in US English and most often in Canadian English as well. Since the game seems to be in US English, and in US English 'judgement' is a straight-up misspelling (yeah, you could probably find examples of it, but it definitely wouldn't slip past any self-respecting newspaper editor), this seems like a mistake to me, unless Blizzard is into mixing US and UK English haphazardly, wikipedia style.

Okay, I realize no one cares. If I were a stronger person, I would have been able to fight the urge to post about a typo in a video game.
