this sceond image

-- "Man charged in downtown Vancouver assault on woman" on CBC News online on August 14, 2009

No results found for sceond. Dictionary suggestions: scend, second, Sond, send, Seynd, scent, seconde, secondi, secondo. I believe the writer was attempting to type the word second, but, based on the word (or, more accurately, the sequence of letters) actually written, second isn't even the first word suggestion.

Scend
verb (used without object) (of a vessel)
1. to heave in a swell.
2. to lurch forward from the motion of a heavy sea.
noun
3. the heaving motion of a vessel.
4. the forward impulse imparted by the motion of a sea against a vessel.
