| In some cases, either verb could be used; in this case, "judged" is much better, because "adjudged" is mostly used in a legal context. You could have your senile mother adjudged incompetent in court, in order that you may sign contracts in her name. |

| The simple version: don't use "to adjudge" unless you know what you're doing. |

| The difference between thanks and thank you? | "I've tried" and "to find the truth" is a phrase? |
