...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.
