Thats what you get for trying to correct people. We cant all be perfect lol

4get is correct:

license verb (licensed, licensing) 1 to give a licence or permit for something such as the sale of alcohol. 2 to give a licence or permit to someone to do something such as drive, own a dog, get married, etc.

[4getmenot]

so what typo then?

[joggerjayne]

No, Ethel ...

In the context of "off licence" the word "licence" is a noun.

It is a licence which permits off sales.

Take a look at your "Driving Licence".

It will be inconvenient if the DVLA has issued 30 million Licences, all with typos !!!

The "c" becomes an "s" in the word "licensing", yes.

So a Licensee, who runs an Off Licence, is licensed to sell alcohol.

[joggerjayne]

In Ethel's big paragraph, the spelling ...

" ... to give a licence ... "

... is correct.

[4getmenot]

well when I looked it up in yellow pages its under off license. Is it that big a deal jogger?
