It's like judgement/judgment. We just do things differently around here, and some idiots are uptight about maintaining American style even if it makes no sense. Really, why the hell should you drop the 'e' in "judge" when modifying it to the word "judgement"? That makes no sense at all. Firefox is even trying to tell me it's wrong.
To be fair, Firefox's built-in dictionary is pretty limited. I've had it tell me certain words don't exist, for instance "macromanagement." Oddly enough, dictionary.com also says it doesn't exist, yet reference.com (the encyclopedia version of the same site) says it does.
