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? Also, and this is my main point, does that mistake affect our understanding of the document's meaning? 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.' The correct English spelling of that word is in fact 'neighbours.' So you're referring me to a docume...
