Aliasing multicoloured_fur → multicoloured_fur

Reason:

multicoloured_fur -> multicoloured_fur

Fun fact: This kind of thing, if read as multicoloured fur is multicoloured fur, is known as a tautology, in which no non-redundant information is supplied.

In all seriousness, not sure this alias would go over very well with non-Americans. They love their ou's.

It was actually decided a while back that minor regional and spelling differences like this would lean towards General American conventions when we needed a tiebreaker. After all, it's better to have it consistent and predictable than at the whim of whomever happens to be suggesting the aliases on a given day.

Cool. Good to know. Probably wasn't a popular decision with non-Americans, though. :/
