"Lead" vs. "led" is illiteracy (it's actually reliance on spellchecking

You wanna go crazy? In journalism the beginning of a story pronounced
"lead" (rhymes with BEAD) is spelled led.
I never understood (or liked) that.
Actually it is spelled lede
<http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/lede>. It is written that way to
avoid confusion with the element lead (symbol Pb), which was used a long
time ago in typesetting.
