Even Google thinks so, and if you insist otherwise, 12k results instead
of 2M.
The majority of the results in the first and second pages are about a company
called Iterable.

It remains that "iterable" is the standard form in python's extensive
documentation and is the form I am used to.
...there's Python. Lisp seems to be the least obscure language using
"iteratable". Even Wiktionary¹ gives "iterable" as the "correct"
spelling, and doesn't even have an entry for "iteratable".
(¹ https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/iterable)
I'm *not* arguing that you (Thiago) aren't, pedantically, correct. I'm
just pointing out that, as Edward notes, you're fighting the tide.
