ambiguous spelling

[josef...@gmail.com]

Do we get consistent spelling?

collinear or colinear

I just realized that I changed my preference compared to 2015 and dropped many l's in a PR, while the function is called _fit_collinear.

multicollinearity seems to be in common use, not multicolinearity if that even exists

(co-linear sounds much better than col-linear, in 2018)

And an older one:

heteroscedasticity or heteroskedasticity

I think I converged to a 'c' a while ago.

But we do have a

           `class ColinearityWarning(UserWarning):`

that warns about multicollinearity

and another one of my PRs from 2015

collinear: 48  counts 

colinear: 0  counts

And the winner is `collinear`
