thank you for the reminders. sometimes i get a bit distracted because of things like these...unfortunately
You're right, it's just that neighbours, and Neighbours (because of an unfathomably popular TV show), is quite a frequently used word here so it popped into my head. There's always the more obscure http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/Benedectine then, though it's not found spelled that way in some British dictionaries. But anyway I have nothing against MW's, just trying to advise using more than one source sometimes, especially if the other person is insisting they're spelling a word correctly and you don't agree with them. I'd just playing Devil's Advocate really anyway, I've personally never had a client say I'm wrong about a spelling when I was actually right - but if I did I would argue until I won of gave up on them.
