Kudos, Kudos

To put my editor's cap on for a moment, I want to commend The Washington Post for spelling the past tense of lead correctly in a sentence quoted in the previous post. So many people these days want to stick an a in that word, making it like read, which is spelled the same way (though pronounced differently) in both present and past tenses. People just want to believe that led is a misspelling. I blame Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.
