	Test V1: The Human Vocal Chords
		The air moves through the vocal chords, which are situated in the muscular vibrating folds of the larynx, and the glottis, the space formed between them.
		By stretching the vocal chords, adjusting the tension and varying the air pressure through the glottis, the pitch of our voice is adjusting, tuning higher or lower.
		The triangular prism that defines the air column in the center of the vocal chords is positioned at (0, -0.025), has a radius of 0.048 m, set at an angle of 90° and has a depth of 0.015m.

	Vocal folds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The vocal folds, also known popularly as vocal cords, are composed of twin infoldings of mucous membrane stretched horizontally across the larynx.
		Above both sides of the vocal cord (the hole and the ligament itself) is the vestibular fold or false vocal cord, which has a small sac between its two folds (not illustrated).
		The term vocal cords is occasionally mis-spelled 'vocal chords', possibly due to the musical connotations or to confusion with the geometrical definition of the word "chord".

	Human voice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The vocal folds, in combination with the lips, the tongue, the lower jaw, and the palate, are capable of producing highly intricate arrays of sound.
		Humans have vocal folds which can loosen or tighten or change their thickness and over which breath can be transferred at varying pressures.
		When the air pressure in the trachea rises as a result of this closure, the folds are blown apart, while the vocal processes of the arytenoid cartilages remain in apposition.

	The Eggcorn Database » chord
		Merriam Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage notes, “The chord spelling can still be found in American sources in combination with spinal and more frequently with vocal, where the unrelated musical chord may affect people’s spelling.” It’s the association with musical chords that makes this possibly an eggcorn.
		But MWDEU notes that “the chord spelling with adjectives like vocal and spinal is historically justified and considered acceptable by a number of British authorities”.
		In the specific case of spinal chord, the influence of chordate could also be a factor favouring the ch- spelling.

		Ironically, the year's finest vocal project comes from a band led by a bassist, Charlie Haden's Quartet West.
		Her best vocal is "The Folks Who Live on the Hill": Bing Crosby zipped through the Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein II original with an inviting congeniality, but Horn's treatment takes a more distant approach to the folks of the title.
		His vocal on this last selection, "Wayfaring Stranger," sometimes glides and at other times wavers, but it ultimately serves as a touching lament and tribute to the parents with whom he began his career.
