A common mistake

Neighborhood is wrong; the correct spelling is neighbourhood.Both are correct — neighborhood in America, neighbourhood in Britain.

Bangladeshi schools follow British spelling, so the -our forms are the safe default here. Neither is an error; what looks careless is mixing the two systems inside one piece of writing.
