What's Wrong?

Claude Code used the British spelling "judgement" in a recommendation message, where Anthropic's product copy otherwise uses American spelling ("judgment"):

"The threshold is the only judgement call — 10 is my suggestion, not a derived number. Want me to implement it that way, and should main stay unpushed until it's fixed?"

This is model-generated text rather than static UI copy, so it's an inconsistency rather than a fixed typo in the codebase — flagging in case there's a system-prompt or style-guide level fix that could standardize spelling in generated output.

What Should Happen?
