[oligopoly]

treated

[jno]

treated; I've never heard 'tret' before, though it sounds like the vowel change in I lead/I led. Is it a dialect form somewhere, perhaps?

[denisdenis]

Hey Jude, I think 'tret' was Middle English vernacular in the Danidh populated areas of east Anglia - but I can't find proof!

[denisdenis]

That would be 'Danish'.

[bignanny]

Have also heard 'tret' used in Lancashire and Yorkshire

[Jovica]

I seem to think they say tret in Nottingham as well. Could be wrong of course as I haven't lived there for over 30 years.

[Solarjunkie]

It would follow the pattern of the past of "read" being pronounced "red" not "reeded".

[bignanny]

Think treated is right though.

[Electrochem]

This is down to where you live.

As has been said, tret is used in Yorkshire and Lancashire. They also say sat instead of sitting."I were sat at table" meaning "I was sitting at the table".

I find dialects extremely interesting. I was born in London but now live in the NW. I have spent considerable time in Devon and I often find myself speaking like a Devonian when I go down there.

When I moved out of London I couldn't understand what some of my new neighbours where talking about!

[Slayde_Demise]

I would personally use 'treat' for people and 'treated' for things like:

I treat her like a queen.

I treated her wounds.

But I guess it's down to were you're from and what you think sounds right. (I'm from Lincolnshire by the way)
