[HANASHIR:15511] Re: Spelling of 'vocal cords'

[Edward Katz <eekatzmd...>]

I don't mean to be picky, but there is no 'h' in the
expression "vocal cords." A vocal cord is a cord, a
piece of string, or fibrous tissue (also known as the
larynx). The term chord is a musical expression, and
refers to the simultaneous sounding of two or more
notes. This is probably one of the most frequently
misspelled terms in the English language.
