 The f_contiguous flag was used to signal that views as a dtypes that
 changed the element size would change the first index. This was always a
 bit problematical for arrays that were both f_contiguous and c_contiguous
-because c_contiguous took precendence. Relaxed stride checking results in
+because c_contiguous took precedence. Relaxed stride checking results in
 more such dual contiguous arrays and breaks some existing code as a result.
 Note that this also affects changing the dtype by assigning to the dtype
 attribute of an array. The aim of this deprecation is to restrict views to
