		The modern spelling of the word Thames illustrates an interesting phenomenon in the history of the English language.
		The spelling Thames, which first appears in 1649, is an example of the kind of "learned" respelling that went on in English from the late Renaissance through the Enlightenment, when the prestige of Latin and Greek prompted scholars to "correct" the form of many English words.
		The a in Thames is etymologically correct, since the Latin forms had that vowel, but the h is a "learned" error, added in the mistaken belief that Thames derived from Greek.
