The difference, obviously, is that when shown a typo, I correct it and try not to repeat the careless mistake.

Unlike those who defend an improper spelling of the word "judgment."

The only reason the word "judgement" appears in some dictionaries as an alternate, secondary spelling is because so many have used the incorrect spelling it is becoming commonplace.

Much like the errors of Rome. People get used to them and so it doesn't seem like it's any big deal to err against God in such a mannter.

Right.

If that were true, soon dictionaries will include words like ficticious and mannter.

I spell it that way, with an e, as I was taught in grade school. I also spell Saviour with a u quite often.
