Ok, I have seen this spelled Occam and Ockham in this article. Which one is it?--[[User:Elamdri|Elamdri]] 06:26, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

Since William of Ockham lived before spellings were standardised there is no real correct spelling. However, the village he was from is spelt Ockham these days, so maybe that should have primacy.
