A bit off topic but I've often wondered when did it change from "He plead not guilty" to "He pleaded not guilty"? Which is correct?

As I understand it both are correct. It is mostly a matter of regional dialect.

One dinner Mom had ham and asked Dad to say the blessing. He said "Jerome the pig had to give a little something up so we could eat tonight".

But years ago it was always "plead" and now it is "pleaded". I hear it on national news so what has changed?
It's kind of like changing "he spoke" to "he spoked". :)

This is from dictionary online:
plead
/plēd/
verb
past tense: pleaded; past participle: pleaded

But I think in legal terms plēd pronunciation is wrong (plead as in bleed).
Should be plead as in "bread".
Maybe it's a guilty plea, past tense guilty plead.

"Remember...when you're having your ham and eggs for breakfast, that the chicken was only involved...the pig was totally committed".

The older I get, the more clearly I remember things that never happened.

Mark Twain

I sometimes wonder how many of my early childhood memories really happened. It is sometimes enlightening to compare and contrast old memories of a shared experience with family or friends.

If I'm feeling philosophical, I note the large percentage of my life experience that has vanished from my memory. It makes me realize the importance of appreciating life as it happens. When a moment is over, it's usually gone from memory.

Make sure you dedicate plenty of time to arguing with strangers on the internet!
