Usage notes

Many editors would maintain the differentiation between judicial and judicious and thus would advise that writers should not confuse judicial (having to do with justice and judiciary systems) with judicious (showing good judgment). In adhering to this prescription, a phrase such as judicious use of X (wisely chosen use of X) is not interchangeable with judicial use of X (use of X by the courts). Descriptively, judicial is polysemic, with one of its senses meaning judicious, but the purpose of the prescription is to avoid having some readers sense awkwardness or apparent catachresis in the poorly chosen (albeit descriptively not wrong) usage; the editorial idea is that regardless of correctness or incorrectness, it is preferable to use the better/clearer word instead and thus avoid any chance of reader annoyance or reader confusion/missense.
