rounded electrode?

well... going through the trouble shooting section of the fsm as to why the car wont start... and one parts says to check the plugs... we pulled them and 3 of the 4 look alright (and they were in the correct locations) but one of the electrodes was rounded off and had a greyish white glaze... this plug was in the rear rotor leading side....

so i guess im asking... what would cause the glazing and rounded electrode? is this plug bad?

rounded indicates the plug is worn to the point of needing replacing
