Grrrrr....grammar

An actual sentence from cnn.com:

Investigators initially feared the gun had been booby-trapped because a bungee chord was hanging from it, Curtis said.

When will people learn that spell check is never enough alone????

I know so many people who confuse "cord" and "chord," but I hate seeing it in news media.

Last week, someone -- the LA Times? -- talked about fire "baring down" on mountain communities.
