"correlation does not imply causation" or would that be better "correlation does not imply causality."

From what I understand, "causality" and "causation" mean basically the same thing but the later is the one used by statisticians. Although I'm French and my math background is entirely in French I wouldn't be completely assertive on that. Also, XKCD says "causation".
