To be fair, both spellings are correct, so the actual bug is of course 
not being consistent about it. ;-)

"Adaptation" is the most common form. According to Webster, it dates 
back to 1610. The synonym "adaption" appeared in 1704, but hasn't yet 
achieved the same level of popularity. Given a few more centuries, 
perhaps it will...
