    That’s “compliment.” @SpaceNoodle was subtly criticizing the misspelling.

      In US English, a, e, and i can usually be substituted for one another. Sometimes o as well.

        “Compliment” and “complement” are two different words. Sorry, but you don’t get to change that particular spelling if you want to be understood.
