Spelling of Judgement is, Judgement or Judgment? Is one UK or US English?

This is a double question, what spelling is considered correct for Judgement? I spell it with an "e" but so many programs and American dictionaries and books on grammar consider it neither right nor wrong. Does Judgement and Judgment have a difference other than spelling? Is one more common in the UK versus the US or do the words have two different meanings in context.

I know that Judgment without the "e" is often used in legal business... And to me Judgement with an "e" looks better and reads easier at first glance. So is one spelling really incorrect or just a matter of context and preference?

    I've learn that "judgement" is the British spelling and "judgment" is the American spelling. I normally sort "judgement' on the grounds that it appears higher to me and Microsoft phrase tells me i am wrong every time. Haha
