(I deliberately pronounce daemon as day-mon though, so I don't forget how to spell it - perhaps pronouncing it as dee-mon makes it harder to remember the order of the 'a' and the 'e'?) If it is just the specific typo as 'deamon' that concerns people, adding a property specifically to raise an exception for that name would be far less hassle than locking down the attributes of all Thread instances.
Different people have different mis-spelling quirks. I might type demon (in other contexts) but never deamon instead of daemon. There are other stdlib attributes I am more likely to misspell, so worrying about just this one, to the point of changing the implementation, seems a bit mis-directed.
