It's funny you mention this, b/c something been weirding me out a little lately. I keep reading in various articles that someone "pleaded guilty" or "pleaded not guilty."

I've always thought it was "pled" when used in this manner.


I've noticed this change in NZ news reporting over the last 12 months or so. It always used to be "pled (not) guilty", now it's invariably "pleaded". shift happens
