J

jealous/envious

Both the words have the same meaning except that there are hidden meanings behind them. One becomes ‘jealous’ of someone when one’s girlfriend tries to become friendly to some other boy, but one can be ‘envious’ to one’s own friend when he/she has scored more marks in examinations.

jewellery/jewelry

‘Jewellery’ is the correct term and a British spelling. Some people mix it up with ‘jewelry’, which is an American spelling.

join/join hands/join in

‘Join’ simply means ‘put together’ or ‘unite’ or ‘connect’. ‘Will you please join these tables with the others?’ ‘Join hands’ imply to ‘combine in an enterprise’. ‘Please join hands with me in this project.’ ‘Join in’ means ‘to come into the company’ or ‘be a part of it’. ‘Can she join in on the dinner table?’

judgement/judgment

‘Judgement’ is a British spelling which is still popular in certain parts of the world but Americans have dropped ‘e’ from it after ‘g’. Thus it becomes ‘judgment’.
