It's pled!

I have readed many an article which runned under the headline "Defendant Pleaded Guilty." My junior high English teacher is somewhere out there pitching a hissy-fit. She teached us about these things called irregular verbs. And plead - pled is definitely one of the verbs she teached us. In fact I never see-ed "pleaded" until I go-ed to law school.

Of course I was also teached judgement and impracticle rather than judgment and impracticable, so I may have fighted a losing battle here.
