In for a Bad Spell
Didn't Monday Madness just ask about correcting grammar?

I found this on CNN's site this morning, in an article about a little girl who can't feel pain (emphasis mine):

"They put the dye in her eye and I remember the look of puzzlement on all their faces," Ashlyn's mother says. "She was not phased by it by any means."

I see this all the time, but I didn't expect it on a professional web site. The word is "fazed," as in "To disrupt the composure of; disconcert."
