Unpacking English, Bit by Bit
A community for questioning, nitpicking, and debating the quirks and rules of the English language.
hanged vs. hung
I think that saying hanged is just an old English thing.
To say "Bill hanged himself" sounds country.
But to say "Bill hung himself" sounds more educated rather than what I picture of a dumb school boy saying "Bill hanged himself"
