[laffer_adaptive] [lake_model] spelling and check example admonition (#545)
* [laffer_adaptive] update style and spelling - change 'it reverse' to 'it reverses' - change the subtitle to lower case to match with the style - change 'pseudo code' to 'pseudo-code' to match with the title for consistency - change 'limiting values exists' to 'limiting values exist' - add hyphen to steady state when using is as adjective for consistency. * [lake_model] update spelling - change 'the below graph' to 'the graph below' for better word ordering - change 'long run growth' to 'long-run growth' for consistency
