28. I know... I hate it when they use "plead" for "pleaded," too.

In law, it's PLEADED guilty to, not PLEAD guilty to.

Geesch. You'd think someone who's bread and butter is the written word would know how to use it properly!

(Caveat: I was a newspaper reporter for 12 years. For eight of those years I covered emergency service personnel and courts, which required that I know that "John Doe hanged himself" and "John Doe pleaded guilty to murder," for example.)
