Oh dear, one should tread extremely warily when taking the high ground in matters English.
Neither is actually correct, being one of those traps of which English is full.
It is a contraction of the words 'not either' thus 'neither' the i before e rule does not apply in this case.
The application of the c (Eng) or s(US) in the words like licens/ce is now fairly arbitrary in common usage and the better dictionaries offer both, with but subtle if any variations.
Likewise as mentioned here before words such as programme/program. I prefer the use of programme in the organisational sense, but would use program in computer use.
I think you are being unfair suggesting Woomera was setting up him/herself as any expert or offering unsolicited English lessons, but simply making and observation and
Sits back and waits for the REAL experts to critique my grammar, syntax and spelling.
edited for obvious spelling mistakes , I remain open to correction on grammar and syntax
