You are welcome, and nothing to apologize for.
Adding a "grounded" plug wire is possible, but probably not necessary.
And my guess is that the issue would most likely be resolved in the rewiring process anyway regardless of the type of cord used.
Just carefully check each connection, every place where the wire bends sharply, and any place where it goes through something. take pictures and post them if you are unsure of anything, we're here to help.
Edit: Good post Joe, excellent points to make!
