They're not wrong wordsjust different words.
For example, a London-based Scottish friend of mine was telling me that she had staved her thumb and nobody at her work knew what she meant. I replied that it's just as well she hadn't chacked it.
Glossary:
stave, v - to injure a digit of the hand or foot by blunt trauma to its end, cf English 'stub'.
chack, v - to trap (a body part etc) in a compressive manner, such as in a closing door.
