Check here to see all about "sand collic" spelled with 2 L's. It is not ME to spell it that way, it is them.

agree  LJC (X): colic only has one 'l'//ghits: collic 26,600, colic 3,430,000. Any dictionary will confirm one L is correct. Google with care, not everyone who publishes on the Web can spell correctly.

  -> Thanks. I also originally thought that collic had only one L, but having "Googled" it I found hundreds of examples of the 2 L spelling, suggest you re-check.
neutral  juvera: One L from latin colicus, colon. Google is not authoritative. At best it is informative, but use it critically.

agree  Will Matter: Agree with your answer but 'colic' has ONLY one 'L'. Google is frequently wrong.
