Both are legal English (and American) words - so a spell checker would not
spot that error.
You would need a grammar checker for that particular example.
Also be warned that there is no agreement on the definitions of either of
these words.
qv: (Chamers English Dictionary) A licence; To license
qv: (Princeton University Press) A license; To licence

...or maybe "U.S. Assembler"; much like Assembler - only, not used by
native Assembler coders ;-P
