But Nicwrites, I make the point again - I am being referred to a document to correct my grammar, which has a clear spelling mistake. So is that saying that spelling mistakes are ok? Yes or no?

OK, looking at that document via the link gives me a clue. I was brought up to write in English, being English. US English is vastly different! Just in that document we can see the word 'neighbors.'
