Yes, in fact several English spelling changes were done specifically with the idea of "correcting" words that were thought to be Latin loanwords. e.g. the 'b' in "debt" got stuck there because it made it look more like the Latin "debitum". That word has no Latin etymology nor has it ever has a 'b' sound in it, of course.
