Aww...come on John ;-)
The word "tremor" would look pretty stupid if it was spelt "termor",
likewise the word "tremendous" would looks equally stupid if spelt

Then again "termite" would look a whole lot better if it was spelt "tremite"
and "terminator" would look and sound more fearsome if spelt "treminator"
