Is "pleaded guilty" correct, grammatically? Would it not instead be written as "pled guilty" in that article?

  A cursory googling suggests that both are grammatically correct. I had the same intuition.

    In general you should expect the number of irregular verbs to shrink over time. If I see a regularized form that grates, I don't even bother to check anymore; I just sigh a "kids these days" and move on.

  Both “pleaded” and “pled” are correctish, but “pleaded” more so: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/pleaded-pled/ https://www.grammarly.com/blog/pleaded-pled/

    Is correctish correct or just correctish?

      Does the set of all sets contain itself?
