I've always spelled judgement as judgement, so I assume I learned that spelling in grade school. That would have been back in the '60s, in rural Pennsylvania, but I can't imagine that would have an affect on standard American spelling.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When I moved to England they thought I was horridly American, but that was vocab. Gas, sidewalk, and my Spanish made them laugh. No wonder I'm fucked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know I love Lee Child, but somehow there's always on British-ism in all of his books. The last one I read had Reacher driving in the "overtaking" lane. O RLY?

Jesse, you can always ask. If necessary, negotiate an unpaid leave of absence?

Our wings are not tired.
I say "lift" and "queue" regularly (for elevator and line), and that comes from London schooling. Plus, I like the way they sound.

Yeah, I figure that's the worst-case scenario.

3 months, and the trip is in June.

I see. Unpaid leave of absence, negotiated up front.

You never know. I happened to mention my brother's wedding when I interviewed here (regardless of when you start you don't get vacation until Jan 1 of the next year @@).
I had planned to use the days I had earned freelancing (I took vacation instead of $$, because of said @@ policy) and my boss said, no, you mentioned that before starting, don't worry about it.
So it ended up that I actually was able to go to my brother's wedding in Minnesota and take a vacation in Hawaii, all without actually having any vacation that year.
