Pleaded, pled
, : according to Wikitionary, "pled" is North America and Scottish English, "pleaded" is Britain, (excepting Scotland), still used by some in the US, particularly in legal usage. Maproom (talk) 11:45, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I wrote the word "pled" here because it's what comes most naturally to me, as a London English speaker. I don't feel particularly strongly about it, but it feels like an unnecessary MOS:ENGVAR change to change it, assuming both forms are correct.

When I was practising in the English courts I always used "pleaded." I have rarely heard "pled." This is why I changed it. "The Concise Oxford." gives the past tense of plead as "pleaded" but says "pled" is a good US ,Scottish or Dialectical word. Warren bradley would have been prosecuted in an English court and "pleaded would have been used. his is an article about an English politician and I would have thought therefore "English English" should be used even if the Liverpool dialect were shown to use "pled."  Can I change it back?Spinney Hill (talk) 23:34, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * If there's a consensus to do so, I won't stand in its way, but it shouldn't be a unilateral decision per MOS:RETAIN. The dialect of English spoken in the court isn't really relevant; Wikipedia doesn't prefer a particular style of English, save for things like an article about someone from the UK shouldn't use US spelling.

 * I agree with Spinney Hill's rationale for using "pleaded" rather than "pled". ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 18:53, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
