pelling notes

Both "anulus" and "annulus" are correct spellings. Gray's Anatomy uses "annulus fibrosus"," Terminologia Anatomica uses "anulus fibrosus"," and Nomina Anatomica uses both forms. A Google search indicates that "annulus fibrosus" is the most common usage.

"Fibrosus" has no correct alternative spelling; "fibrosis" has a different meaning and is incorrect in this context. cite journal |author=Fardon DF |title=Nomenclature and classification of lumbar disc pathology |journal=Spine |volume=26 |issue=5 |pages=461–2 |year=2001 |pmid=11242371 |doi= |url=http://www.asnr.org/spine_nomenclature/]
