The original poster >did have it right... If you wanna break a Canadian ban your gonna have to use Canadian English, eh? My Houghton-Mifflin Cdn dictionary gives "pleaded" and "pled" as past tense forms; my O.E.D. says "plead" as a past tense is an Americanism. I don't have an American dictionary, so I'll take your word for it that "plead" is a past tense in at least some of them. -- Justin Wells (rjwells@uwaterloo.ca, stem@io.org, stem@sizone.pci.on.ca) tired: alt.fan.karla-homolka wired: seizures (legal/medical) related to alt.fan.karla-homolka
