Plea Plead Pleaded Pled? Please!

My fellow blawgers:

When a person admits her guilt in court, she does not plea guilty. She pleads guilty, entering a guilty plea. "Plead" is a verb. "Plea" is a noun.

After a person has admitted his guilt in court, he has not plead (or "pleaed") guilty. The past tense of "to plead" is "pleaded" or "pled."
